2026-01-01 - 2026-12-31 | Nationwide
Greetings to all our current and future members. If you haven’t come along to any of our events so far, please have a look at the 2026 calendar below, get in contact and we look forward to welcoming you!
This is the events diary for the 2026 season, BUT THIS IS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF WESTCOUNTRY EVENTS. It will act as a single list of all the events that the Devon Region of the BMW Car Club GB will be organising / attending as a club along with events where we will not be attending as a club but may be of interest to members. Dates and details will be updated as they are confirmed by the organisers with their dates and event titles made bold. Please note that where events are organised by third parties i.e. not the BMW Car Club GB or one of its Regions, the information provided below is reproduced in good faith from those external sources. Where we are not attending as a club, it is up to those interested in attending to confirm that the event(s) are going ahead as shown. If there are other shows/events that may be of interest to members, please email me the details at devon@bmwcarclubgb.co.uk. Please also keep an eye on the forthcoming events in our neighboring Cornwall Region Cornwall – BMW Car Club GB as we have an open invitation to attend their events. If you are interested in attending any of them, contact Lukas Evans on cornwall@bmwcarclubgb.co.uk
Keep an eye on the Club’s website, social media and Straight Six for some more MINI content and MINI-focused events in 2026! There is a small working group, led by Richard Rixham, of which Phil is a member. Richard says “We also looking to see if we can get more MINI articles in Straight Six and on the club website. If you know of anyone that has an interesting story about their MINI or has something they could write about, like the story of the BMW MINI, please do see if they would be interested in providing some content.”
