I think that there was a problem with the field Tez, like a lot of exhibitors we usually stay over until the tuesday (which we did) but apparently, after being assured that there was no problem with that the owner then decided that he wanted to spray the field that evening and wanted everyone off! George was poorly so did not attend the rally anyway. We were not aware of this so stayed, but virtually all the other exhibitiors left the site. This caused some upset and I believe that some of the committee resigned that week in disgust/protest? I also understand that the site owner wanted more money which wasn't available, as I said I gather that he now wants to run the event himself. All a mess really, I enjoyed it (Stationary engine man myself) but I think that I will find an alternative this year. Endon well dressing want exhibits so I may go there instead!
