after long debates about the event a choice had to be made,with funds low,also its unknown if we can go ahead,we have had certain cash promises subject to us going ahead,funfair owners also unsure on areas of distancing ,we reluctantly decided to cancel this event and after 11 successful years it was not easy,so sorry but the publics safety and with the virus theres far more important things in this country,please note this also includes our huge 500 plus classic bike/car show,but hopefully we will be back in 2021
