Jaguar Spares day

[inner pickle]

Firstly, well done Maikel,

thank you for the comments, I follow your You Tube vids with great interest.
a great concept and one of those where you wonder why they haven't been done sooner

Personally I won't be going to Malvern
one of the key advantages of Stoneleigh for me and many I guess is the access, suitability/main roads/motorways making it "handy to get to " - not for all obviously.

While I was walking around I heard two traders looking to clear their stall stating " it's all got to go, I won't be going to xxxxing Malvern." Make of that what you will.

In my experience ( I Volunteer at a well known historical venue and a member of a couple of clubs ) we appear to have all too readily forgotten the impact Covid has had. That perhaps coupled to the economic impact of prices feeding through to household budgets has an impact on visitor numbers and membership annual uptake.

Beyond that, Stoneleigh has for some time lost that "amateur" spontaneous feel that if had 10+ years ago.

Summing up it'll struggle to survive at Malvern I feel unless it gets a big upswing in both visitors and stalls
