At this years event at Crystal Palace the show was organized by Live Promotions Ltd as the show had got too big for the Sevenoaks and District Motor Club volunteers although they kept control of the Motor sport action.
Very strangely, there seemed to be a different atmosphere this year plus a distinct absence of public visitors. Normally this weekend is packed and the atmosphere electric, but not this year. The local traders and exhibiters from previous years were missing, instead Live Promotions brought in their regular traders, including a children’s fairground. However there aren’t many children taken to a motorsport event and we think the organizers didn’t appreciate their target audience.
During the afternoon the club stand was visited by one of the organizing team and they apologised for getting it all wrong and that they were also disappointed with the way things had turned out but have learnt lessons for next year. Let’s hope so.
