Well the good news is that I will be living in Portland during the time of this event. The bad news is that my Mini is still in the midst of a slow restoration. But, I am looking forward to coming out to the swap meet and to check out all the awesome cars and more importantly, people! Looking forward to it.

@fMix It is always up to the host club to determine dates and events. I would encourage you to gather your friends and host a Mini Meet West in the near future. I know many Mini enthusiasts would love to visit Washington State. Club leaders host a Mini Meet West Planning Meeting with members of the West Coast clubs at the Host Hotel in June to discuss the future locations. Be sure and check the event schedule for exact time and location.

There are a few reasons why many car clubs have always planned Mini Meet West mid-week:

  • It allows those who work to take an entire work week off allowing travel to and from the event
  • Less expensive hotel room rates as weekends are always more ca$h!
Don't compete with brides and grooms and other groups who must have a weekend banquet
It's almost impossible to have all the events that Mini people like to do over two days

The Oregon Mini Society has maximized the MMW 2018 attendees registration dollar with these amazing, unique and fun events
  • Show and Shine in the Shade overlooking the Columbia Gorge
  • Swap Meet
  • Night at the Museum (Private access to the WAAAM Museum for after-hours party)
  • Maryhill Loops Hillclimb
  • Scenic Rallye on some amazing backroads that Minis LOVE!
  • Closing banquet

Hope you can take time out of your schedule to visit the ultimate Mini event of the year since 1973!

So the event is only scheduled for week days, nothing for the weekend?

Save the dates- JUNE 25TH – JUNE 28TH, 2018 in the Historic Columbia River Gorge.

EVENT REGISTRATION WILL BE OPEN BY THE END OF THE MONTH!!!

The host hotel is holding a limited amount of guest rooms for our group at a negotiated discount rate. For guest room reservations please call the hotel directly at 1-800-828-7873 and identify yourself as a member of the Mini Meet West event. Reservations are on a first come, first serve basis and will not be offered after June 1st, 2018. Reservations received after June 1st will be subject to availability and current market rate. We do anticipate the hotel will be full during our stay as this is high season in the Gorge.

WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS, PLEASE INDICATE THAT YOU PREFER THE EAST WING AS THAT IS CLOSEST TO THE PARKING LOT WHERE MOST MINI’S WILL BE PARKED
