Description: The Southern Mini Owners Club is a friendly, popular Mini Club based in the South East of England. The Southern Mini Owners Club was created in July 1986 by devoted Mini enthusiast Miss Lee Pegrum from Sevenoaks. After 23 years SMOC has led the race in the Mini scene, achieving award-winning status with its ‘dare to be different’ motto, one that Sir Alec Issigonis (the Minis inventor) would have been proud of.  Our club is an extended family, with many members being part of it for over 10 years, we have had even had couples meet through the club. With 5 weddings, we are more successful than Cilla Black. After 25 years of Mini driving, founder Lee Pegrum says “my favourite times have been the celebratory years, Mini 25, Mini 30, Mini 35, Mini 40, Mini 45 and now Mini 50, inter-spursed with loads of other Mini shows in both the UK and Europe.” During the club’s 23 years we have had some mad-capped Mini adventures, including floating 3 Mini rafts down the River Medway at the Maidstone River Festival and producing “Sump” a Mini Musical that premiered at Sandown Park at Mini 45.  I sincerely hope to enjoy another 25 years of Mini motoring and I am sure the club will do too, with the dedication of the hard working committee, anything is possible.  We have members of just a few months old to aged 80+ so we are sure to see you in 2059!” We generally have two meetings in a month, in addition to all the other shows or events that we attend. Sometimes there is a third meeting, if there is a fifth Wednesday in a month. At 8pm on the FIRST Wednesday of each month at The Spitfire Pub: 1 Liberty Square Kings Hill West Malling Kent ME19 4AU Telephone: 01732 220754 At 8pm on the THIRD Wednesday of each month is now at The George, City Way, Rochester, ME1 2BH.
