Gaydon a simple question ?

If it ain`t broke then don`t try and fix it

It would be better if the space was used better and more traders put there hands in there pockets and paid for space and actually turn up, but i guess at the end of the day they make enough **** online ****, so no need for them to spend money and attend these shows

Simply saying that (From original question) That there is nothing wrong with Gaydon as the venue for this event as it is successfull

But a change i would like to see as a paying punter is the traders

This has been brought up many times in the past,but at the end of the day no one can force then to attend,but it would be nice to see more making the effort

If the advertisers couldn't be bothered coming then maybe someone in charge should seriously question either the sponsors ability/suitability to become a sponsor or more importantly why they don't come to shows. The idea of a sponsor is someone who for promotional gain gives over money. If they don't want the promotion then why? is it that the advertisers really don't want to go but feel obliged to paying? Do they want to go but feel that their needs aren't being met? I don't know the answers but someone should!

I ain't talking about Sponsors

I am talking about company's related to selling products to BMW Enthusiasts who dont pay to attend events such as these and others for whatever rason it may be

Overpriced space

Happy with online sales

etc

etc

Neither can I.

Several traders etc didn't turn up this year including the guy with the mobile rolling road for which I was told there were around 40 bookings. At £25 a time thats a grand. He obviously is making too much money if he can pass that up.
