What Kills Rallies?
When you think about it, a lot of rallies have disappeared over the years for one reason or another. I know that I had a long spell away from the hobby due to work commitments and getting married etc in fact the period that I was in the "wilderness" was from 1993 to 2010.
Whilst i realise that some rallies were replaced by others such as I believe that the one at Merrymeet in Cornwall was replaced by the larger event at Boconnoc, what happened to the rallies at places like Newton Abbot Racecourse, Yelverton and Plymouth Hoe. Woodlands Leisure Centre near Dartmouth use to hold an annual event as did the now closed National Shire Horse Centre at Yealmpton in South Devon. Has the one formerly held at the World of Country Life at Exmouth ceased to exist? The latter was always poorly publicised and took place on the same weekend as the WESES one. Are there any locations which could possibly see the re-introduction of rallies which took place years ago?

at some shows the attitude of the organizers dose very little to boost their exhibitor numbers. To answer the question "What Kills Shows?" depends on a number of factors, and in most cases, is normally unique to each show. Of course there are some smaller shows that have finished simply because the main organizer has had to stop and no one else takes it over. Another is loss of venue,

All this criticizing of the club by unhelpful individuals such as your self is really getting on the tits of the people who spend such a large amount of their time trying to sort it, from the goodness of there own heart. How many times do you need to be told that you are not aloud to poke fun, make suggestions or even express an opinion on the NTET!!!
