I feel so sorry for the organisers who've spent 11 months putting the event together, only to have to pull it a week or so before. No doubt they will have incurred significant cancellation costs.

I've had 5 events cancelled so far this year, and in several cases (like this weekend) the weather has been fine, though I realise the ground is still saturated.

During the foot and mouth crisis a number of rallies were rescheduled to the later part of the year, September/October. Bearing in mind that it can't rain forever I wonder if this would be a viable option for some.

Bosiboz 4th July 2012 02:49 PM

Coppice and Belper have been rescheduled for September both on the same weekend! Elvaston rescheduled to September a couple of years ago after being rained off in July however gate receipts were down. Elvaston & Rempstone have decided not to & have cancelled this year. With so many rescheduled rallies it is difficult to find a suitable weekend in September. Good weather in October tends to be a lottery. Then again you could say that of every month. With a lot of rallies surviving on tight margins its probably too risky to leave until late in the year.

rick 4th July 2012 10:29 PM

Newby Hall Vintage Car Rally
 
I know it's not steam.
But the big vintage car rally due to be at held Newby Hall near Ripon on the 15th has been cancelled today.

We haven't missed exhibiting for the last sixteen years, so its a real shame.
