Inevitable that it should start off a bit smaller than before, given the impact of Covid and the cost of diesel and petrol. Habits have been broken, priorities changed, some small businesses may have disappeared and the hobbyist exhibitors may be finding it difficult to justify the cost of travel BUT ......
Against that background you have to applaud Julie and Roger for ploughing on regardless.
It went ahead ..... and it worked too.
The buzz was soon back and it proved very successful.
We're already looking forward to next year.
P.S. Picked up some great cars too!
As you say, the world has changed a lot since the last episode. The plus is that real enthusiasts will still attend and participate and buy. The casual visitors who just look around and don't buy anything would think twice about travelling. Perhaps the gate-money might be down, but the organisers are all vendors so they may have come out ok on balance.
