Programme

This is a Provisional Programme, and will be finalised before tickets are available.

Friday 21st October

Registration opens at 3pm for the early birds, and runs until 7pm at the North Harbour Stadium Conference Centre.
You can also register on Saturday morning before the Show and Shine (details TBC)

A great way to kick off the big weekend: Once you’ve registered it’s time to catch up with Mini mates old and new, maybe have a relaxing beverage, and plan your winning strategies for the coming weekend.
Held at the North Harbour Stadium Conference Centre, use the Stadium Drive entrance and follow the signs.
Event starts at 6pm and will run to at least 7:30pm, or longer if the conversation is good!

Saturday 22nd October

For many the Show and Shine is the biggest event of the weekend. Time to show off your Mini at its best, and spend some time appreciating all the other cars.
Venue is North Harbour Stadium carpark H. Use the main entry off Coliseum Drive, or the smaller entry off Don McKinnon Drive.
Gates open at 7am. All cars must be on site and parked by 9am. Judging happens between 9am and 11:30pm. Winners will be announced at 12pm, but keep an eye out for rosettes on the winning cars during the day.

A relaxed afternoon cruise through some of the best scenery and Mini driving roads Auckland has to offer, ending at a spectacular local beach!
