Maybe ! I've also been told that the high cost of Security and the H & S Requirements are making events too expensive !.

Why not ring them up and ask if you're interested?

Good point - but it's worth clarifying here. Not all the answers are on TT, but an answer to every question is on TT!

Yes..Shugborough Hall is still on and organised by the same guy as the other cancelled events, I'm still thinking about going there now that Whitchurch is no go.,

Here, I presume is link to web sit sdvertising event, It does say "all change" but as links are broken I am not sure what "All change means" Contact details are there.

I suppose if someone has a gripe with an event organiser it would be quite easy to run around with event cancelled stickers? It is rumoured that Bob Geldoff did this for U2 gigs to boost attendance at Boomtown Rat sessions.

Yes indeed it is - similar tactics have been deployed in this neck of the woods in the past and in one case a few mindless locals nearly bankrupted an organiser - not a steam event - and finished off what could have been a very good show.
