I have phoned the organisers to ask what the Stoneleigh theme is likely to be this year (bearing in mind we are considering attending this overnight event again, upholding honour of winning the club stand prize last year ;D). They haven't made their minds up yet. They were thinking of doing 'Alec Issigonis' again, but quite honestly apart from our completely mad (and again award winning stand with the insane MUV8!) entry, the other club's had fairly conservative displays. Stoneleigh has had recent criticism and needs some lively & interactive club stands! So Minis Unlimited been asked to help by putting our thinking caps on and coming with some ideas for the show's theme in the next few days because they will make a decision at the end of the week. Its got to be Mini related. What a cool opportunity to request a show theme that suits US?! www.classiccarshows.org.uk/mini.html(If we decide to have a stand there - Silly Mini Sunday is on the same day and is more local but I don't know how many people want to do which... )

I've phoned the organisers back today with some suggestions. Yes, they are having VW's in another hall, so a club stand theme tie-in between the two marques would be good. Originally they were thinking of Alec Issigonis for the Mini hall and Ferdinand Porshe for the Dubs, but take the point that its not very exciting.
However they did like Emma's idea of surfing-cum-beach party. They have had 'Summers Coming' a few years ago (we did Australian Christmas that year) but this is a good twist which would generate some fun displays. They also liked Alex's idea of Movies (Herbie and Italian Job plus many other films where cars have starred). And the good old favourite - Minis (and VWs) in Motorsport.
So at least we've done our bit to help with the melting pot of ideas, and we'll wait for the information to be published and what descision they've made.

ahem...yes so anyways, any further information?
The surfer idea seems to be the most promenant (sp?) at the moment. If I could add an idea on top of that - sand castle competition?

I'm not sure what the organisers have chosen - they said they'd be doing so by this time last week.
Will have to give them a shout again.

i think he would like to start another one for minis unlimited rather than his general one so he can choose exactly what he wants people to see

Can you not lock folders or restrict their view ? If everyone has their own gallery, it makes updating things a doddle - all I/we have to do is add a thumbnail link.

The theme for Stoneleigh is Minis and VWs at the movies. The organiser is hoping people don't do Italian Job. Can we make the minis into Herbies?
