I'm not surprised they've stepped down but with two other shows going
head-to-head[1] you'd think they would have held their nerve slightly
longer - at least long enough to pick up fall-out gossip.

no you didn't dream it. Traders are currently split between the shows
as well, with some plumping for Billing because it is well known
across the world, while some are sticking with Richard Green....

Well LRO certainly have claimed the moral high ground with the expense of
one of the best.

nope. LRE and LRM behaving like a pair of spoilt brats, with a bit of luck
they'll *both* catch a cold over it.

I've a mind to write to LRO though. I'll never be likely to go over to the
east of England for a show, it's simply too far away. Malvern is much more
central, really. I'd not mind going over as far as Birmingham or Coventry
or suchlike, but the places over in the east are 300 miles from me.

Let's hope Eastnor survives...

Jolly good

I sent an email to the LRO editor, for inclusion in the mag if he wants,
saying what a nice show Malvern had been the last 2 years, and it was a big
loss not to have it, and LRE and LRM deserve to mutually implode due to
their moronic decision to clash, and that I hoped that LRO would resume the
show in due course at a nice central venue somewhere in the midlands.

OWTTE

I never went to LRO in peterborough, twas just too far away. I'd go
somewhat beyond Brum, though, for example as far as Coventry or thereabouts.
Obviously, I like Malvern 'cos it's nearer - but it's still summat like 70
or 80 miles - and a good bit further for example from Pembroke. Peterborough
from Pembroke must be getting on for 500 miles...


But, as you say, Eastnor. hopefully in the 110-transit hybrid.

got a reply, too:


"Thanks for your email Austin. Yes, dropping the show was a tough
business and emotional decision for the people here, but with the chaos
that's going on in the show scene I think it's the right one"

*I* think it's a pity that the other prats arsing around have potentially
lost us what I found to be an excellent show, and I hope that they will keep
it in mind for 2008.

probably won't hurt if everybody gets onto them and is upset that the
malvern show is going... chances are in the normal run of things the only
people who can be arsed to write in are the ones whinging about something,
the ones who found no fault haven't much incentive.

Seconded, although it was my first Land Rover show so I've nothing to
directly compare with I thoroughly enjoyed it.

May I suggset you email LRO and say that, if you've not done so already?

Having done organising (although not LR shows), I know that you hear far
more from the whingers than from people who enjoyed themselves.
