The new high speed rail link is being rerouted, right through Stoneleigh's Royal Show Grounds! frown

There is a meeting on Friday 19th November at St Francis Parish Centre, Warwick Road, Kenilworth - if you oppose this, you need to be there...

I hear the Show ground is struggling anyway, so if they don't put a railway through it they'll probably make it into a housing estate and retail park !

Given the attitude of the people running the Kit Car show at Stoneleigh it does not surprise me that they are struggling. Look what happened to the Royal Show.

Yes, although the kit car show is slowly getting smaller and more expensive it still has a massive following. I hope it will be moved and not just killed, maybe to donnington? Who knows....
