I hope the mods will forgive the multi threads on this but as it's at such short notice and the show gets 6-800 display cars and thousands of visitors many of whom are PHers

Kimbolton Country Fayre and Charity Classic - 15 July
Is cancelled this year due to waterlogged grounds of Kimbolton Castle School

As this is an event which entirely raises funds for for charity it's not able to risk a late cancellation that would incur a high financial penalty so after consulting with Kimbolton Castle School the show has had to be cancelled this year

Please notify anyone you know that may be attending

as an Account Manager I'd have thought you might have understood better than the 'average Joe' - there's a job for you in banking smile

Already sent this round the PHEA Mailing List, and posted it on the PHEA Event Calendar thread.
It's a shame, but understandable.

thank you Darren

it's a great shame for the visitors, displayers, traders, the oraganisers that have been working on this for the past 12 months, the organisers who have built and maintained this show from its origins for the last 22 years

most of all it's a shame for the charities that would have benefited as all proceeds went to them, around £15,000

I don't think the decision would have been taken lightly
