I agree with Stav ..Quote..(If you are so handy in suggesting a venue,suggesting that the show is Boycotted etc THEN ORGANISE A SHOW AND LETS SEE HOW GOOD IT IS)
Paul.

As far as I'm aware not one single person has criticised the organisers,they do a superb job and their hard work is obviously appreciated by the number of visitors that the show attracts every year,the problem was generated by The Hop Farm booking another event to run concurrently thereby making the model show uninsurable ( as can be read in post 8 ).

Yes the hop farm booked another event. But which event did they boot off and kick in the teeth? Yes the regular one. Not the one off. John.

They didn't 'boot off and kick in the teeth' anyone, (any more than Stavros' suggestion makes any sense either

), what happened was the SAMS organising club was advised by the BMFA that they would be unable to extend the club liability insurance event due to having to overfly the 'other field', which if any of you had been bothered to ask - meant the club would have been liable.

As in many other threads like this - too many people stick both of their feet in their mouths and get 99% of the story wrong - the solution?? READ AND UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM!! not just the title of the topic

Due to the Hop farm show cancellation Elmbridge MC http://www.elmbridgemc.net/index.php/boat-section
would like to offer it's boating lake ( no flying, sorry ) for the 15-16th Sept.
If there is interest in this as a replacement venue I'll add more information.

Imagining what the Hop Farm people might have thought (without bothering to check any details

), what I guess might have happened is that the Hop Farm people didn't initially realise that the event needed the next field to be free of people, and then when they were told, pointed out that in that case the event would be using up TWO of their venues, but for only one charge...

Hi everyone,
Myself and Debbie know how hard its is on you all.
Trust me its very hard on us.
A lot of work goes into let you all you people know when the show is.
Sending out ticket etc.
Then only to have to let you all know its off.
We are already looking for somewere new for next year.
We went to the Essex Country Show,Barleylands at the weekend.
No boat traders but a very good show.
Lots to see and do.

regards
Alan

the reason for that was in the local paper the week before. in an interview the new owner of the hopfarm was quoted as saying he wants the hopfarm to be the number one venue for music events in the south east. therefore music comes first established family shows do not count.

Sad to say - but the weather here near the Hop Farm music event is perfectly dry, blue sky and relatively warm for this time of year - damnation!!!

It never rains when you want it to ###!!

Ian. No doubt you are aware that all venues have to conform to noise limits. Should the venue music at the Hop farm be to loud. Then a complaint to the local councils noise abatement officer would be in order. One to watch. John

Maybe the hop farm should of gone to spec savers.
Maybe models of the rc type bring in bigger crowds and more money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HA HA HA.

Hi all,

I don't know if this is the rigth place to post this, as it's slightly off topic.
I've seen from the Southern Model Airshow Website that they plan to be back in 2013 "bigger & Better"!
The dates of 14th & 15th of September 2013 are suggested, but these dates clash with the Essex Country Show at Barleylands Farm.
I know that many of the local model boat clubs like to attend both these events & can't be in two places at once!
Since the Southern Model Airshow is in a "transitional" stage at the moment, perhaps this clash can still be avoided.

Neil.

I think he means that since the site owners chopped the last show at short notice (reading the earlier posts), they might need to do some very persuasive persuading to get the show organisers to risk a second fiasco. Then again, if potential exhibitors, traders and visitors had their arrangements messed about with, they might not want to be bitten again.
