The question in my mind is why are there 2 quality jumbles on same day & this is not the first time either that Morton’s have clashed .
Mortons behave like thugs and would like to corner all these events same as they have done with the bike press.
Not called the evil empire for nowt.
I spoke to one of the traders at Shepton, who attends both jumbles (when they don't clash) He told me that he complained to Andrew at Morton's, who told him that it was VMCC's fault, but they are going to change the date next year. Ron
It was a good event, but I missed Ian and Chris Orchard, I did however buy a Military Norman flat twin generator, now I'm trying to work out why.

Rob, if you need any engine parts for the Norman I have a complete engine tucked away in a shed. Had it for years, no idea of condition, but its all there.
I have a friend in the Somerset VMCC, he told me a few years ago that they have difficulty being fitted in at the Shepton Mallet venue, there are so many other events there that earn more money and therefore can afford to pay more, thats why prices at the jumble for pitches and entry have been going up, but its still pretty reasonable in my opinion. So they probably can't be too choosy date wise.
Maybe Shepton is so good because its a locally run event by enthusiasts rather than a corporate show?
