Because 'allegedly' five vauxhall clubs stated that they would leave the VBOA if we returned to billing. Also the vote on the two options for Billing went ahead and the result was split virtually down the middle so neither option was viable, it's a shame our government don't follow the same policy eh
Anyway, some toys were thrown out the pram, and some other clubs had tantrums and instead of going back to Market Harborough cap in hand the VBOA decided on Sywell, without consulting anyone...because lets face it, they apparently tried that and it got them no where.
Did we, as club members, get a say in this? Or was it, as it seems, all closed doors on the whole decision making, If I missed the thread asking our opinion I'm sorry.... but I don't remember seeing it.
Personally I preferred Billing, Market Harborough was rubbish... a new venue could make all the difference, Facebook is going mad over it, and some really 'educated' ( ahem) comments are being bandied about, full of accusations and swearing etc.... It's a right old game
there is also talk of 'rebranding' the show to attract 'the general public' rather than it be just a 'club only' event....this in my opinion is just a shameless money making venture and will make the VBOA show less secure which in my opinion spells the end of it and all it stands for...but thats my opinion...I'll turn up to the show for a day, but I don't think i'll trust camping there if it is open to non club members....
