Welcome to Bury Mini Club's web site.

                         Welcome 2025!

Work on the site continues and we are getting there. A few old pics left but good for nostalgia! The update on future events also continues as some but not all dates are in for 2025. Most of those from 2024 are re-appearing for 2025 at similar times so we look forward to a busy year. We had a few runs to places of interest last year and are hoping to do a few more in 2025. The Go Karting was interesting to say the least and we should be having another go this year if the interest is there and bruises have healed!.

​

Thee are quite a few cars and coffee mornings appearing and we could visit some either as a Club or as an individual if you would prefer. Details are available and they are just a few hours long in the mornings - you can come and go as you please for most of them. Please check on our facebook page as organisers can put their events there.

Please be patient with the finalising of the future events page as it is sometimes difficult to find the date from the organisers, especially if they have changed for the new year.

One Club event that raised £550 for our charities in 2024 was the Bury Mini Club Memorial Suffolk Run from Bury to Southwold, which took place on Sunday 11th August, following the heavy rain and cancellation of the run on 7th July. We hope to do another in 2025 and the provisional date for this is Sunday 10th August, but it depends on permission to park next to the boating lake. UPDATE: 10th August confirmed for the run.

For those who are organising events and would like them noted on this site, please contact me (details on the Contacts page) as we need to get out and exercise our Minis!

Update on the meeting venue this year: It is with some regret that we have had to change our meeting place yet again as we could not be guaranteed a room to ourselves for the sessions. It can't be helped as the pub is now very busy and well done Chris, but the room we used is the games room and you cannot stop customers playing darts or pool. We will therefore be meeting at the Gt. Barton Bunbury Arms. We had our Christmas meal there in 2024 (just to let members know - the Bunbury is booked again for December 14th 2025!) and Ross has kindly booked us space in the seating area for the 2025 meetings. However, thanks to Chris for the meetings we did have at the Crown and Castle.

We meet on the last Thursday of each month except January, June (fish and chip run to Peyton Plaice), November (the ten pin bowling night) and December (we have the Christmas meal at the Gt Barton Bunbury Arms on Sunday 14th December as already mentioned). We meet for the first time in 2025 on Thursday 27th February.

Members can order food in advance if you wish to have a meal before the meeting although Ross has said that this is not always necessary as they have their special carvery evening on a Thursday so there is plenty of food available. 

​​

The meetings usually start at about 8.00pm and are very informal. We have the chance to chat over a (soft) drink about our latest upgrades, engine problems, Mini runs, club stands at local events and any other Mini related matters.

We have a "Trading Post" section on this site where you can sell or buy bits and pieces or whole cars! Advertising is at no cost to you. Click on the trading post page to see what's there.

If you have an interest in the car and want to think about joining before committing, just turn up at the next meeting or event to parade your pride and joy, along with the rest of us.

If you are thinking about joining in 2025, see the details below.

The website needs updating but apologies from the editor for not keeping it more up to date. With the new 2025 season now upon us, a concerted effort will be made to make the site current and updated regularly when all the 2025 events are known. Some are already on the Future Events page, where known.

For the most up to date comments you can look at our facebook page "Bury Mini Club" and this will have pictures and other information on it.

​

As previously stated, we hope to repeat this year's BMC run from Bury St Edmunds to Southwold, to be known as the BMC Memorial Suffolk Run, and this will be taking place on a Sunday to be confirmed. The new owners of the land where we park need to agree we can park there  - thanks to them for last year.

We made £550 split between the Suffolk Accident Rescue Service and the East Anglian Air Ambulance this year, so thanks to all.

If you are interested in coming on next years run, please keep an eye on this site or our facebook page. We hope to have runs to some places of interest next year, the trip to the Transport Museum in Ipswich was interesting but not well supported sadly.

We will leave the pictures below for the time being and the first two pictures below show (most) of us preparing for the 2018 Easter run at Ram Meadow.  

The third picture shows a few of us at Cars by the Lake in 2018. This event is now no longer held.

2024 pics will be posted here eventually, but they are few and far between! Some are already on the facebook page.

As stated, the BMC run mentioned above will donate any money made from the draw etc. to the Suffolk Accident Rescue Service and The East Anglian Air Ambulance - we hope we won't ever need them, but they do a great job and rely on donations.  We thank our main sponsor, Newton Commercial, who donated a £150 voucher for the 2024 run.
