Any idea why?

Bob Ajob · « **Reply #2 on:** January 22, 2007, 17:32:27 »

Nothing OFFICIAL yet then?

Nothing like a good bit of rumour-mongering to put people off a show...

davidlandy · « **Reply #3 on:** January 22, 2007, 17:33:37 »

that would be a shame cos Kelmarsh seemed to be the good option of the two.

evil forces at work somewhere!

Well I had seen it posted on another forum as well. I know Difflock were booked for Kelmarsh.

More dirty tricks?

sleeplessparadise · « **Reply #6 on:** January 22, 2007, 17:46:57 »

I still aint booking anywhere else yet but I'm sure i saw someone post they had just booked kelmarsh surely they wouldn't be taking bookings if they didnt think it was going ahead??

I've heard it from more than one source now, and can pretty much decide that it isnt a rumour.

smo · « **Reply #8 on:** January 22, 2007, 17:57:28 »

I do hope its not been called off - it was going to be much better than the rather unpromising billing.

davidlandy · « **Reply #9 on:** January 22, 2007, 18:22:54 »

just had a look on the kelmarsh website

there used to be things on there about the LR show - cant find anything now

Is Kelmarsh the show that was billing last year but now being moved up the road?

Bob Ajob · « **Reply #11 on:** January 22, 2007, 19:57:49 »

I'll be waiting for this site to change before thinking it's off:

Has anyone actually spoke to the organisers yet, or just other people who "know". It's not difficult to start a rumour, of course it could be reverse psychology, publicity stunt for Kelmarsh Hall, I hope so!

LRe Show 2007 - CANCELLED

Date: January 22, 2007

The Show at Kelmarsh is cancelled. It would appear that the majority of trade stands who have booked for a July show have chosen to go to Billing and we can't run a show with only a 1/3 of stands that we normally get.

Refunds for those who have already booked for the camping or trade will be processed shortly.

bummer, they've just updated the website since I was on earlier :(

In the words of Victor Mildrew
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!

Well, I do now, but still, I can't believe the traders would stay put and not move with the organisers, especially with the reasons for moving.

muddyjames · « **Reply #17 on:** January 22, 2007, 20:17:17 »

So billing is back on but under different organisers?

dreadnought110 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 22, 2007, 20:17:20 »

Well i ain't going to Billing (to many bad experience's :( ) so looks like ourgate again!! :? :?

Reaper · « **Reply #19 on:** January 22, 2007, 20:19:46 »

Allthough I have been to billing for the last 9 years or so I'm going to vote with my feet (or should that be wheels) and keep clear of Billing, its a shame because it seems the only way Billing will get the idea that they have major problems is for people to steer clear.

sleeplessparadise · « **Reply #20 on:** January 22, 2007, 20:44:08 »

We wont be going this year then. Was really looking forward to trying out kelmarsh but me and the family are definately not going to Billing again :(

Reaper · « **Reply #21 on:** January 22, 2007, 20:46:05 »

How about a Mud Club weekend somewhere?? :D

We will probably go along with you on that, Billing simply didn't do it for us last year

Well, that's me not attending a show in 2007 then.

I'm another one that will not be going to Billing again, no matter who is running it.

Being new to off roading I was looking forward to going to shows this year - but it sounds from this thread as if Billing is best avoided. Why, what have I missed?

Sheddy · « **Reply #29 on:** January 23, 2007, 12:32:54 »

Its not best avoided, itsa just peoples personal opinion.

My own opinion is that the news of Kelmarsh being cancelled is the best news so far this year. I'll be at Billing.
