Unfortunate news
I received a pm from Cookie87;of MGNorthumbria, to say that there will be no show held in 2019. Apparently it was a club vote, and the no vote won. What a shame, one of the best shows of the year that. I have forwarded this information to Stu.

Sad news indeed, Rich. I have to say I preferred the rugby club site to this years.

Yes it wasn't as good this year Will,but with it being the first year at the new venue, there was bound to be teething troubles. There's still time for them to change their minds.

A real shame but I agree with Will, it wasn't as good this year as in previous years, it was all a bit too spread out for me. Hopefully they will have time to reconsider as with any new venue it will take some time to sort out the issues.
Fingers crossed they can be convinced to give it another go. Steve. |

So the problems we had this year with members of MGN saying they would help on the day then never showed up to help out. This plus the fact of a new site made for a very busy day for the few that did turn up. We had a club survey asking for next year and not enough members said yes to helping out, not just on the day but on the run up. Unfortunately the deadline has passed to book the site for next year so for now that's it. It's the end of the show you never know it maybe bk in 2020 but I for 1 am glad it's not on next year. After seeing my dad organise the event for the past 6 years and how much stress it puts on him it will be a good rest for him. He has now stepped down as chairman but remains vice chair. I too have some bad news my 190 will be for sale as I no longer use her any1 interested just get in touch. So to round this up thanks to every1 who has been in the past and enjoyed the show.

That's a real shock , one of the highlights of the year for me , I know the new location wasn't 100% popular but a little shuffling around would have improved it no end, had some great days out at this show . I blame Brexit !

Yes shuffling stuff would have helped but when club members aren't willing to help out in the day like promised it becomes hard to run the show.
