Lol the temptation...

I think the issue is not just venue, it is parking and also traffic, these shows can get popular.

I would like to know if exhibitors are being refunded or their dough kept on ice, I would hoep there is an option for both.

I do wonder if they can come back from another cancelled show though...
My thoughts as well.

I’m sure they will have insurance that covers some of the costs this year, I guess a big question is what will insurance cost next year and whether the whole thing remains viable?

Indeed. I rolled my ticket over when they cancelled the 2022 show, but I've asked for a refund this time. I'll decide whether to go or not a couple of weeks before the 2025 show, if there is one.

Lovely sunny day today so went to visit Gayden Motor Museum as Race Retro was cancelled. What a wasted opportunity for them, lovely day, hardly a cloud in the sky. These event organisers need more courage to keep things open. Doubt it will happen next year now, shame.

It will all be claimed back under insurance, Would not think anything changes for 2025, honestly Insurance is the killer of all this stuff but a win when this happens.

How do you actually get the refund? I clicked on the link and then just got details of my order?

Yes, I had to put in my order number and email address and got a message on screen saying my refund should arrive in 7-10 working days
