Thank you for all your comments and views, but the reality is that had the event been at the old site over the last four years, I imagine we would now be almost bankrupt as per CTPC.
Three of the last four years at Stithians would have no doubt have been all but cancelled if the event was still at the St Agnes site. The society have done the best they can with limited budgets etc but unfortunately they have no control over the weather.
At the end of the day the general public cover the costs, so the society have introduced many other attractions to hopefully entice them to attend and help cover these costs.
On a plus point, I believe that those that I have been involved with over the weekend enjoyed it and feedback from the public that I know, and others I don’t know was positive.
Personally, I liked the top field at St Agnes, but at the time it was being slagged off for being a static rally with no engine movement other than going in to the ring. I guess this may have been a reason to move to the lower field at the time........... and then the big loses started due to the poor weather conditions.
In a perfect world it would it would be where it was, with good weather thrown in.
These are changing times, the society, rightly or wrongly is trying to move with them.
Some of the comments here do surprise me as I know you are barely old enough to remember the bottom field let alone the top field at St Agnes!
Please note, this is my personal view, not the societies.
