So why does it keep happening? Why do people continue to enable it?

I've not bothered with a North East event for a couple of years, because like others have pointed out, they're cliquey, but I've seen comments after just about every event complaining about the behaviour of others.

My issue is that it's always passive-aggressive nonsense in response. I keep seeing Facebook posts mentioning 'certain individuals', or shit like no entry signs being plastered everywhere, but no one actually telling the individuals that their behaviour is unacceptable.

If it doesn't happen already, NEBPT should have a feedback process after events to gather feedback from operators and preservationists that attend. Likewise there should be a process to report issues to them on the day, and the marshals should be prepared to deal with that. 

If something doesn't change, they're going to sink North East rallies once and for all. It's already not helping that there's a newer, but now more popular event on in Whitehaven over the same weekend.
