Annual event organised by local Rotary Club for charity, at Cannon Hall Country Park near Barnsley has just been cancelled after 15 years. Reason...Health and Safety.
The local council now want an ambulance, paramedic, (St.Johns not good enough it now seems), traffic management company to direct the cars in the field, wages for council employees to oversee the event etc. The result being that the cost is more that that raised for charity.
It's gone to far now.
Really upset to be honest I've attended from the beginning and it's the best local show in a lovely country park setting, always a superb varied collection of vehicles.
