We may never know why so few dealers were there. They all make a (good)living out of Morgan so it would have been nice to see, and get a feel for the people. I assume that many were at the dinner????
The Simmonds show was well supported when I got there but the rain was torrential, so I only stayed ten minutes for a quick look from under the brolly. There's obviously something at play behind the scenes, and it can't simply be cost. But we'll probably never know the truth. One dealer who attended as a normal punter, told me that he was 'happy to leave things to the local dealers', when I asked him why he didn't take his full dealer display.
Inside the event, there was a large amount of tarmac and flat grass. A lot of the attendees could have parked inside. Having an outside car park may have been due to the demands of the racecourse owners, but for me, that, and the lack of the dealers/ support industries let it down. It was the Centenary after all.
Overall for me, Prescott was a more enjoyable day out.
