Pickering latest

[rustytrucks]

We went with the Marshall and from the perspective of an exhibitor it was like any other rally - some good bits, some less so. What struck me though was the sheer effort that all involved had put into the thing, despite the well-documented bickering (see what I did there?) between current and previous organisers.

What makes a rally though is not the organisers but the exhibitors, and it was a great privilege to be amongst a fine bunch who all put in a lot of effort to make it as interesting and enjoyable for the paying public. So well done them, and well done the organisers for trying their hardest to make it all happen.

Went up to Pickering yesterday for the first time in years and have to say I was pleasantly surprised, however I was also a little disappointed to see exhibitors leaving early (one at 9.30 in the morning), unfortunately this seems to have become the norm at a lot of rallies lately, the excuse "we've been here all weekend and it's a long way home" isn't really a valied reason in my opinion as you know that when you enter, at the end of the day it's people paying to come through the gates that keep these things going and empty spaces will soon put them off returning. All that said I think with a little time Pickering could get back to being the event it once was.
