Ardingly bites the dust

Ardingly Vintage & Classic Vehicle Show
PRESS RELEASE........................................... .............

It is with great regret that we have to announce that the 2014 show will be our last show.
The cost of putting on a show like Ardingly against the profit has declined over the past few years — some years even had losses. Horsham Historics cannot afford more losses or small profits and keep the show going.
We would like to thank everyone that helped to put the show and the exhibitors for bringing the exhibits over the last 26 years of the show.

Thank you again everybody
Ray Frampton
Chairman
Horsham Historics Preservation Society Ltd


Unsurprising after this years event

Like I said many months ago, when a show can no longer make ends meet with out charging its exhibitors to attend, the writing is on the wall. Sad fact of life I am afraid.

Thanks to you and your team, Ray, for your efforts over the years.

My friends and I have enjoyed many a good weekend at the show, and the odd wet one.

Out of interest, was it the spiralling cost of the venue, more "security" or ever-increasing P L I that has become too much ?

[Mr. Fettler]

What a shame !!!
