Default POSTPONED

Good evening all,

The dreaded news arrives at last. Sadly, due to the current situation, Statfold GMW is postponed until further notice. Please inform anyone who needs to know, exhibitors or visitors

Thank you all so much for your support of GMW, past or present. We are very sorry we have to postpone. If there is any update in the near future I will let you all know

Exhibitors, a formal notification will follow

All the best to everyone. Stay safe

Kindest regards

Sam

Nooooooooo! That's a disaster! One of my favourite events. Gives me a bit more time to get the engine finished I guess, hope it's still on later in the year.

Everything will be "Later in the year " in September.
It will be a disaster as there will be so many on at the same time they will not get the attendance required to cover costs.
And fewer exhibits.
Even if they are allowed to run them.
