Yup! 'Fraid 'tis true - no more National 4x4 shows at Trentham. I
was talking to Tom McGuigan at Peterborough which is when I learned
this.
Apparently even though the caravan site is being closed for the
re-development of the grounds, the owners/management were happy for
Tom to continue to hold events there. It seems though, that the local
residents(some with considerable influence apparently!) have objected
strongly to the continuation of the show.

On asking Tom if a return to Weston Park was an option, it seems
that's not likely either! Shame really - that mud run was spectacular
entertainment!
But he is organising the attempt on a world record for the longest
procession of Landrovers ever, Tewkesbury I think.
