Hi Peeps..Well with all the last minute cancellations and people dropping out it has started to make me wonder about the future of the BBWF...And ultimately Wedges.

I obviously enjoy organising it and will always try to make it a good event while I'm running it.

Next year there is no room at the Inn so BBWF 2016 will NOT be at Ettington....I do have a plan but it will see a change in the way the Wedgefest is heading..I would never try to take the original DNA from it by turning it into a public funfair ..Or a multi-model event...Although ALL models of TVR's are always welcome...Lets be clear on this...I for one have some really good friends who drive other models of TVR..

The main issue with any of these types of events is and always will be "Commitment"...We all have such different lives even though we share a likeness in something..It is for many a very tiny part inside of a much bigger machine..However the machine will not run without it.

I will try to create a slightly different approach to the BBWF 2016, It will be exclusive...It will involve eating..Socialising..Laughing..Relaxing but have plenty of driving as it is about cars..smile

I would also like to see it evolve into something that shouldn't be missed...But thats being ambitious.

If all fails next year then i will sadly hand in the old BBWF towel to whom ever wishes to take it off of me....Be a shame but as Bob sang...music.."The times they are a changing"

Uncertainty wains.....Cheers...Ziga

Don't get me wrong I'm not doom and glooming just being realistic...However I'm hoping that i will be pleasantly surprised this year as i have a feeling its going to be a good turn-out..

I know it can be expensive for some...Even me...Im on bks all income and I'm trying to kickstart a new career at 53..perhaps its just a mid-life crisis and my liking of leather has become sadistically obsessive..Brought about by the constant fondling of the families ancient heirloom of Psoriasis the great...He was the first descendant of domesticated cat...He was called this due to his constant scratching although the skin complaint hadn't yet been discovered...Strange...Anyhow i do try to keep the cost down and if you were to compare the fest last year to the year before then you should of seen a £30-40 saving...It wasn't much but we did actually do more for less...Which was nice...If the government can honour its citizen's and put the price of fuel down to what it should be and not keep creeping it up even when the price of a barrel of oil goes down then we could possibly see people wanting to travel further..

I think i was panicking a little as it seemed that everything was starting to go tit shaped at the last minute..Which actually is not that bad a shape...smile
