The clashing of dates on this occasion is unfortunate & I wonder if this year after a possible enforced move from an established venue like B&W was unavoidable
I have a plan to attend netley & beaulieu this year & now with the vmcc event same weekend am a bit torn - it’s all like waiting for London busses - all at once
Every trip over to the uk since I moved home involves considerable expense with a minimum fare of £500 return for ferry alone - I had found however the shepton trip always a great visit - far better than Kempton of these times
Hopefully the future dates & venue will establish themselves in the calendar and we can look forward to our trips there
One thing for sure - you lads in the uk don’t know your luck when it comes down to frequency of autojumbles to attend or engineering services availability
The new site is at "Winchester Farm" which seems to be a car-boot location with lots of farm sheds. I can imagine that a County showground was expensive for a one-day (half a day actually !) jumble.
The distance wouldn't be a game-changer for me, although it is further from Dover, but a Beaulieu clash would. I really enjoy the cross-over with the old car world at Beaulieu.
