I live near Manchester, so its a long drive, but i'll just book a day off as usual and leave earlier. I drive to the Ring and Spa on a yearly and to London reasonably frequently so don't see the difference. Sure its nice when a show is local to you (Tatton for us) but it can't be near everyone can it?- Circuit Pack 
I work in Colchester from time to time and the machines I work on don't like the corrosion down there. That corner of the world seems to suffer from the exposure to the north winds and the salt carried by them. I don't fancy exposing the two to a long weekend of corrosion, it's bad enough when they salt the roads in winter, without driving on sea water flooded roads on purpose. How many MKIs will make it back??.

But they have to look to the longevity of the show and not just a quick replacement.Tiamat wrote:coverco wrote:I am also disappointed with the choice of venue, the fact that they had to find somewhere at short notice must have limited the choice, but by booking it for 3 years they are in my opinion showing contempt for the Northern people.
They have secured it for three years, am sure they can cancel if they find a better venue.
"quick replacement", if they do cancel the venue do you think the new venue will trust them to honour any agreement made? In my opinion it smacks of desperation, would it not have been better to cancel this years event rather than choose a poor location, if this years show is poorly attended it may end the event for good anyway

- is there a central location big enough to accomodate the show? JAE is not a case of getting a playing field in a village, there is the need for lots of car space, tent space, facilities, amenities etc which only certain places will be able to accomodate.- certainyl in the amount of time I will spend driving if not distance. Its not the level of attendance that makes JAE its the people who are there. Admitedly there will be less and its sad its not in a centra location, but I imagine tryign to find the right venue for the right price on what is essentially 6 months notice is very hard.(four days) then to have no JAE at all. The organisers have done what they needed to do - protect the show.Lauren wrote:whoozy wrote:Dont worry.
