Huh? There are plenty of smaller events that fit that description
already. They want to kill off the biggest and best event in our hobby?
Jealousy?
Perhaps the lack of sufficient and clean dunnies caused the "too big"
complaint in the past, though I believe this year's event passed without
gripes about the dunnies. Surely, that continual bugbear has not been
fixed once and for all?
>From what I have heard, one of the major gripes is the cost of
admission, particularly so for those who contribute to the event by
bringing a vehicle or display, but feel they aren't appreciated and
are treated as just more punters coming in the front gate?

Don't you just love clubs? Those with the least ability and financial
sense sometimes have the most to say and want to stir the world. Clubs
always seem to involve infighting, cliques and elitism.

I am glad to hear it. No Beltring would indeed be a major loss to the
HMV world.
If you don't want it, you could shift it to my side of the world?
I could afford to go every year that way.
