Wings Over Illawarra - Cancelled

New date in November 2021

After consultation with NSW Health, the organisers of Wings Over Illawarra 2020, Mark and Kerry Bright, have made the heart-breaking decision to cancel the 2020 event which was due to take place in November 2020.

Originally set for May 2020, Wings Over Illawarra was postponed to November in the hope the current COVID-19 situation would have eased sufficiently for the event to take place.  Unfortunately, this is not the case.

“We are now forging ahead with Wings Over Illawarra 2021 and have set the dates for the 13th and 14th November 2021 with a STEM day planned for the 12th November 2021.  Having the event in May 2021 was considered, but we did not want to find ourselves in the same situation again with the pandemic not completely under control.”

All tickets that have already been purchased for the 2020 event will be re-issued in the coming weeks with the new dates for the 2021 event. 

Due to our current financial position refunds will not be available at this time.

We apologise for any inconvenience and ask our ticket holders for their patience during these unprecedented times.

Mini Nationals Hay Motorkhana

Sadly now cancelled

So Sorry everyone.... 🙁
Statement 4: 13 August 2020
2020 Australian Hay Mini Nationals organisers statement.
The organising team have been working tirelessly with The Hay Shire Council, Motorsport Australia, the Hay local Community and all of our sponsors and suppliers trying to establish a way of running a completely SAFE Australian Hay Mini Nationals. We had many new procedures and solutions in place, that while not ideal, were acceptable for a one-off substitute event.
Unfortunately, the second wave of Covid, and the nationwide tightening of restrictions has left us in a position where a successful, enjoyable, and safe event is no longer possible.
With this in mind, we are truly devastated to announce that 2020 Australian Hay Mini Nationals has been cancelled.
All of our plans and organising efforts are now getting laser focused on to the June long weekend in 2021!
We call on all our Hay competitors, officials, attendees, and participants to get ready for a massive 2021!
We are all going to have to go twice as hard, twice as fast, twice as everything to make up for this missing year!!
I Can’t Wait For Hay 2021

All British Day

Sadly, this event is now cancelled.

As the lockdown is now ramping up I think you would agree that it is more unlikely that we can manage the extra requirements for a Covid safe event.

It is with great disappointment that I concede that the virus has beaten us.

In June, the NSW Government was aiming to allow small music festivals to

operate from August but there is no sign of this happening now. At the moment, we would fall under the Showground category which allows 1 person per 4 square metres but with a limit of 500 people per event (non-seated). With an average of two people per car that would only allow 250 cars.

We are not able hold our planning meetings in the hall at Brush Farm due restriction of numbers so rather than prolong the situation I think it is best if we cancel for 2020.

The most logical action going forward is to credit each club, whatever they have paid, against next year’s event.

Rylstone Classic

It is with a heavy heart that today we announce the cancellation of the 2020 Rylstone Classic.

We have made it clear that our intention has always been to deliver a COVID Safe event, developing a COVID Safety Plan and altering the event format to ensure we mitigate the risk that Coronavirus presents to our competitors and the broader community.
While satisfied that our event complied with all necessary legal requirements, running the event in 2020 now does not pass the simple logic test.
As Victoria continues to battle a second wave and parts of New South Wales are seeing escalations in case numbers, the right thing to do is to cancel the event and focus on our individual contributions towards keeping our community COVID Safe. With government advice now against any unnecessary travel, our field of 380+ competitors presents a risk to the broader community.
For those who have supported and sponsored the 2020 event, we thank you. Your enthusiasm to see our event proceed has kept us going. We are therefore delighted to announce that the 10th anniversary Rylstone Classic is now planned for 21-22 August 2021.
Please see a list of FARQs on our website at www.rylstoneclassic.com/covid19 and feel free to reach out directly if you have any questions.
Yours sincerely,
Evan Redman
Event Director

Awaba State Motorkhana –

State Championship Event, rescheduled from 8th March.

Westlakes Automobile Club have been granted permission to run a multiclub motorkhana this weekend but with attendees (competitors and officials) being restricted to those residing in the Hunter Region.

Therefore Sydney residents (and all others who do reside in the Hunter Region) are prohibited from attending.

Consequently the event can no longer be a pointscore event for Mini Car Club.

See the Westlake’s web site (www.wac.org.au) for more information if you are interested.

These restrictions have also resulted in our Wakefield State Supersprint scheduled for 20 September being postponed, hopefully to a date in late October but that is yet to be confirmed.

Robertson Pie Run – Postponed

 

In the interests of the safety of our members and the wider community we reluctantly have decided to postpone the drive to Robertson scheduled for Sunday 19th July. There are growing numbers of Covid 19 cases in Victoria and NSW .. in this environment of ‘high alert’ it is better for us to not gather, even in a paddock with pies!

We hope you all can enjoy singular trips out and about but admire the scenery from inside your minis... ‘till it’s safe to meet again.

Thanks to Evan Redman for the graphic.

 

Due to the upgrading of Covid-19 restrictions we have reluctantly decided to postponed this event to comply with the latest NSW Government restrictions on the limits of gatherings of people.

Please keep up to date with the website and Facebook pages or contact the event organiser before attending.

Mini Car Club members will enjoy a cruise along the mini friendly back roads from Sydney to Wollongong then up the renown Macquarie Pass before reaching our destination for lunch at Robertson Pie shop. Due to Covid restrictions we will not be able to book an inside venue so come prepared with chairs and blankets.

Meet at McDonalds, Heathcote, 9:30am for 10am departure. This year we will head south to Wollongong avoiding the main Motorway and travel the Old Princes Highway to Bulli tops then merge onto the M1 for our journey down Mt Ousley and south to Albion Park Airport where we turn right at the roundabout onto the Illawarra Highway and then climb up Macquarie Pass. We will be stopping at the Robertson pie shop for lunch.

In the interests of Public Health and the directive of the Federal Government Wings Over Illawarra 2020 is being postponed. In an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19 the Federal Government has made the decision to ban non-essential gatherings of more then 500 people. At this stage we have no idea on how long this ban will be in effect, and considering the risk to public health, along with the potential of travel bans being introduced, we feel it is in the best interests of the public and the future of the event to postpone until later in the year.

We would like to emphasize that we are postponing the event and not cancelling it.

For more information and to confirm you will be attending please contact Michael Benton 0411019112 or Phil Boye 0429-671649″.

There will be a shuttle bus from the Park to the Ferry Wharf, train station and shopping centre in the Parramatta central business district, which offers many restaurants and cafes.

Minis in the Gong Show & Shine

Re: MINIS IN THE GONG SHOW N’ SHINE – 19th Jan 2020

Unread post

by PhillB » Sat Jan 18, 2020 4:54 pm Just an update for everyone on the Show tomorrow.

The show will be going ahead tomorrow!

We will only be cancelling if there is very heavy rain or severe weather and this seems unlikely at this stage.

Keep checking our Facebook page and our webpage for any updates. We will try and post live in the morning from the site on the local weather.

Please remember that the weather situation in Wollongong is often quite different to conditions in Sydney. Apparently there was heavy rain in Sydney and Southern Highlands today but we had almost none in the Wollongong Region just overcast and cloudy.

We have inspected the grounds and they are in excellent condition despite the rain over the past days as the grounds have a slight slope and drain well.

If you are concerned about rain we will allow the use of 3m x 3m Gazebos. If you wish to erect one please let us know on arrival so we can direct you to a suitable area. They need to be able to be pegged down.

Bring an umbrella or rain jacket just in case, Don’t forget the Museum is open all day and well worth a visit if there is a need to escape from the weather.

Fencing is all up and we are ready to go!!

We look forward to seeing everyone in the morning!

Show and Shine for minis with entry FREE for exhibitors and public, no registration required.

Mini Car Club members attending this event we will be travelling to Dapto early on Sunday morning to convoy down.

There are two meeting locations, first you can join the Sydney Mini’s group, along with Mini Car Club Members at Padstow Maccas 7.15 to leave at 7.30 sharp, second location is McDonalds Heathcote, corner of Heathcote Rd and Princes Highway meeting at 8am and leaving promptly at 8.15am to cruise to Motorlife Museum to arrive around 9:15 – 9:30am.

All Minis, Mokes, MINIs and Mini variants (Elf, Hornet, Buckle, Marcos, Sports Racing etc)

Entry FREE for exhibitors and public, no registration required.

Sausage sandwiches and Soft drinks available

Awards:  Car of the Year (voted by exhibitors only) + People’s Choice (public and exhibitors)

Awards presentation: 12.30pm – 1.00pm.

Don’t be fussy about the condition of your car. If it’s driveable then bring it.

The Mini Car Club of NSW wishes everyone a safe Christmas break and happy 2020.
We are sad to see many of our favourite ‘mini run’ roads and other environs impacted by the fires and know that people who live in those areas are struggling. We thank the RFS for their amazing work.
Stay safe, drive mindfully and to the conditions. We will together enjoy our cars, look after each other and continue to visit regional NSW whenever we can.
A reminder that double demerit points apply until midnight January 1.
Keep on mini-ing

As of 14th July, the 2020 Rylstone Classic is still planned to proceed. Please monitor this page for future updates.

ENTRANT INFORMATION.

A key enabling component of the 2020 Rylstone Classic will be the capture of critical entrant information.

As a requirement of the COVID Safety Plan, we will need all entrants to update their information at check-in.

For both drivers and navigators will record your name, email and intended overnight location (if an overnight stay is applicable).

UPDATE YOUR INFORMATION NOW.

Tracking entries and people movements is one of our biggest challenges in delivering a COVID Safe event.

We ask that all entrants provide their information which we will append to your entry.

Please visit the website and update your details now  https://www.rylstoneclassic.com/covid19

 

Update 12th June

BREAKING: In response to today’s Federal Government announcement which scraps the 100 person cap in favour of the 4 square metre rule, we’re delighted to announce that our 10th anniversary event WILL go ahead!
With the changes likely to come into effect in July and our plans to involve all local clubs, pubs and restaurants we believe we can safely execute the event.
Of course, we will have a special focus on social distancing, hygiene controls and all measures required to keep us safe and compliant during registration and any points where the field will gather.
We will proceed as if the event is on, only postponing should the situation change.

Evan Redman
Event Director

 

This FREE 2 day event is for Mini owners and enthusiasts with other classic vehicles accepted upon application. The 2019 Rylstone Classic, to be held August 22,23, encompasses a range of novelty activities and will be conducted at a leisurely pace, befitting the vintage of our vehicles. With an overnight stay in wine country, the Rylstone Classic has grown over the past eight years to become one of Australia's marquee events for Mini enthusiasts, with numbers growing year on year.

There are a few changes this year with the most important being we have made the decision to move our Central Coast starting point from the Gosford Classic Car Museum to the Mingara Recreation Club at Tumbi Umbi.

It may be a few extra kilometres for our Sydney folk to travel, but the venue provides everything we need for a safe and ordered departure on the big day.

Plus, with a range of cafes on site, pre-fuelling will be a breeze!

Our entry form has been updated online, with all existing entries also corrected.

Register and keep up to date here: http://www.rylstoneclassic.com/

or on the Facebook page: The Rylstone Classic

Update May 26th

With state-based restrictions updated almost daily and our 2020 plans to involve more pubs, clubs, hotels and restaurants across Rylstone and Kandos for a Saturday evening Festival of Food, we're looking more and more likely that we can hold our event.

Our event's popularity - now with over 340 competitors - is our biggest challenge at the moment so stay tuned for updates in the coming weeks as we navigate the restrictions to put this puzzle together safely.

Wings over Illawarra 2020

New Dates for Wings Over Illawarra 2020
As you are all aware, we had to postpone our event in May due to the COVID-19 restrictions.

The new dates are 7th and 8th November 2020 and we are really looking forward to presenting the best show that we have ever been involved in.  I am sure by November, everyone, like us, will be looking forward to getting out and about and what better way to celebrate than at Australia’s largest and best airshow annual!!

We have been watching with great interest as the country slowly starts to open up and with borders now open and restrictions easing, we are very confident that Wings Over Illawarra will be a great success.

All tickets that have already been purchased for the May event are still valid!!  Simply print them out or show them on your phone to be scanned at the gate.

For those of you that need tickets head over to the website.  All the information is there.  Tickets for Saturday VIP’s are sold out but there are still tickets available for the Sunday.  There are still quite a few great options for gold pass and general admission ticket are always available.

For more information or to confirm you will be attending please contact Michael Benton 0411019112 or email: social@miniclub.com.au
