All these cancelled VW shows...

Despite being in VWs all my life I've not really been au fait with the show scene until the past 4 years.

Has there been a year when so many shows have had to be cancelled/postponed?

 

no never

 

Not that I can remember.

At this rate they will all be on the same weekend

 

no never

but also - there never used to be as many shows are there are now ....

 

You think with all this rain they would stop the hose pipe ban.....

 

Hahahahaha

 

It's all thanks to The Health and Safety nutters. Whilst there's a chance of vehicles getting stuck in muddy field carparks and folk slipping in mud, there ain't no chance of a show. That said, over the next 4 days my wife is doing a (non-VW) show at the Malvern showground (same location as Van/BusFest) and all the carparks are on fields, as are most of the displays, and it's been chucking it down there for a couple of weeks, so god knows how they got away with it?

 

Why don't all these shows ban together, hire the NEC (middle of the country) and have one Uber show?

 

isn't this the wettest drought in record ?

 

I'm still sad they cancelled Total Wipe Out - that was a good show

 

i havn't dared tell the boys about total wipeout being cancelled
bek

 

I'd say its more a fault of the promoters rather than Health and Safety. They get their sums wrong and pull out when they can't honour their commitments. It's been happening a lot in the music industry also of late.

 

Like I said in an earlier thread, I've stopped pre-booking shows coz our weather is just too unpredictable, some shows are prebook only, their loss not mine if I dont go

 

Having a show on a water logged field will destroy it for months, it makes sense to cancel.
