What's the best way to find events?

I may be in the wrong forum here, but I'm still a newbie and I would like to know if there is a site that lists all mini get togethers/rallys/etc. for a particular month & state? If not, it sure would be a great idea if there was a webpage or forum heading that listed what was happening on a calendar basis!

try local clubs

Scroll down the forum and find the listing of clubs geographically. Find one near you and open it. Bet you find all the events you want. I know Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts has a large listing of events throughout the country some where on their forum.

Hello again! The place on this site for National Events is https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...play.php?f=216. And the place for Local and Club events is https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...splay.php?f=98.

MINIUSA.COM also has a calendar, but sometimes it doesn't always have everything that is listed here.
Looks like they have a Smokey Mountains Mini Club!!

It would be great if there was some big MINI calendar out there that had all events on any given day.... Is there anything like that out there??

Thanks Kimini03!

Thanks for helping me out! I'll be checking those clubs out. If your not an official member of... let's say "Tar Heel Minis"-(cause I live in TN.) but I'd like to be a part of one of thier events-would I be welcome-or do I need to be a member?

Membership in our club is FREE! Just go to www.tarheelminis.org and fill out a form and you're in. We have both "open" events and "member's only" events - but since anyone can join, why not?

Hey There! No problem at all, there is so much on this site sometimes it is hard to find what you need! I would say that most of the clubs are open to anyone who wants to show up! MINI owners are normally very friendly and welcoming! As stated by Blimey sounds like you would be very welcome in their events! Our Mid-Ohio Motoring Club doesn't have an actual memebership per say, but some clubs might. If you show up at our events you are welcome! We have had people from all over the state and a few out of state owners show up as well!!

We were actually think of doing that tour with the Tar Heel Mini's in June, but we didn't think we would have our car yet!
