Stithians is a good site and at least it is an all weather site which is more than can be said for many others in the Westcountry. You were saying about the lack of Cornish owners, could this be down to the cost of moving engines and the fact that the WESES Rally is pitched between those at Boconnoc, Torbay and GDSF and there is only a finite amount of money which owners have to transport their engines around the country.

I believe that the problems with rallies in Devon and Cornwall is that we have some excellent events but they are spaced too close together and should be spaced out from say mid June to mid September with nothing on at the same time as GDSF.

It's nothing to do with money or when the event is held Tom.
