Most enthusiasts now seem to be voting with their feet and just giving NEBPT rallies a miss. This is a shame but it is to be expected. I did not visit Whitley Bay this year or the Festival of Transport. I'm not prepared to waste time and money visiting rallies which are poorly managed and poorly attended.

Agreed, and people have said it time and time again on this forum.

This event is supposedly our showcase event of the North East, and I didnt see more than a couple of Facebook posts advertising it. It's just not good enough really, and reminds me why I dont bother with events up here anymore. I exclude the 500 Group Day from that, but its chalk and cheese in terms of organisation.
