Steph, I don't know what the financial health of the Somerset club is, but I would imagine that it hasn't had enough good years of late for it to be to good
What I do know is that it costs serious money in expenses to put on a show with a larger number of engines
The fairs also seem to want paying to attend as well as they want to keep all the take on the rides
If a club or society has taken big losses in the past they need to cut the cloth to suit, better that than no event at all the following year
