Wings over Illawarra Air Show - Registration and free entry

For those interested in attending the Wings over Illawarra Air Show on 2nd and/or 3rd of May free entry is available for Classic Mini owners and their Cars for the Classic Car Display that is put on each year within the Airport grounds.

If you are a Classic Mini owner and wish to register a spot with Minis in the Gong simply fill out the online "register your vehicle" form at and use the drop down menu to choose "Minis in the Gong". You can register for one or both days.

IMPORTANT: Registration will include entry for the Classic Car and Driver ONLY. Any additional passengers will require separate entry tickets on the day. These can be purchased online at . If the additional passengers do not have tickets they will need to buy tickets and enter via the public gates on foot.

In past years Minis in the Gong have joined in with NSW Mini Car Club members and met beforehand and entered as a group. If you are a NSWMCC Member then we also invite you to register under Minis in the Gong as our guests.

MCCNSW members will also note that Enthusiasts Group Chairman Rob Weir has placed the details of a run down from Sydney on Sunday 3rd of May in the latest copy of the MCC newsletter. Their plan is to Convoy down from McDonalds, Heathcote, leaving at 7:15am, with a pickup near the end of the Wollongong freeway at Hungry Jacks, Haywards Bay, to meet with Minis in the Gong and any other Classic Minis and then leaving there at 8:15am sharp, to arrive at the Air Show by 8:30am, and in place by their 8:45am deadline.

If there is enough interest from local Minis in the Gong members we may organise a separate run from our usual meeting point at Keys Batteries down to the Haywards Bay meeting point.

If you wish to simply make you own way to the Air Show please note the details on the links page above as entry and exit for Classic Cars on display will only be within certain times.

Please if you are interested in attending don't leave it too late to Register or you may miss out. The Air show is very popular and while the Classic Car Display is in a better location this year than previous years but with reduced spaces, so once the area is full they will close registration.

If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to post here or contact us at info@minisinthegong.com.au

Please watch this topic for any additional updates and info.

I'm happy to meet any MITG gang at Key Batteries and heading down to haywards bay maccas. Anyone else?

[timmy201]

I've booked a ticket for both days.. I'll probably just go Sunday. I'll meet you guys at Haywards Bay. The traffic is going to be awful coming from Wollongong to Albion Park, so make sure your car is fine to sit idling for a while!

The Mini-van will stay in the shed for this event, i'am on duty both days for HARS

Just a reminder as this is only just over 2 weeks away. Don't forget to go online at and purchase tickets for any passengers.

So does anyone want to meet at Keys on Sunday and head to hungry jacks to meet up with MCCNSW? Hopefully the weather holds out!!

[PhillB]

James to keep it simple I think we will just stick with meeting at Hungry Jack's rather than complicate things.

Just a general reminder whether you are meeting with the Sydney group and heading down or joining us as Hungry Jacks please do not be late. In fact better to be there a bit early. I'm aiming to get there at 7:45am

The gates are only open till 8:30 and it sounds like they will be quite strict with that time.

Also don't forget to go online and purchase tickets for passengers in your car.

Fingers crossed for good weather.
