tangodeltasierra, simple answer is that chatsworth would be a backwards step from croft for derbyshire.
we know little about concourse and show stands etc, durham deal with that side of things, we deal with the track. it makes the best of both worlds for both groups and clearly works
also the rsoc will only endorse one regional day for a local group so the possibility of both croft and chatsworth as derbushire shows is an instant no go
as usual dingy is again taking unwarranted internet shit because people dont like the original answer. it might have been explained in more than "its a field" lol but if people knew anything about show organising they would read more into the the 3 words!!!!
all the best from "some other fucker"

lee, like it or lump it you will find that there is an overwhelming majority in the rs scene in favour of track day shows as apposed to static only shows. i would have thought you had been about long enough to recognise this! track day shows might not be for everybody no but facts are facts and static shows are for less people. the numbers through the gates are the facts before you ask! and no its not all about numbers but croft is damn expensive to hire and obviously we must take enough to cover that amongst the other overheads. it isnt about making money though, a lot is donated to car related stuff. the 0-60 is a class example of this, we hire the datron kit for x amount, and anything above that taken on the 0-60 is given to charity. im running on a little here but the majority of people who have commented will no doubt have little or no idea about what goes into a show. its a pain in the ass believe me. the agro we put up with you wouldnt believe. im not moaning by the way. ive not had much to do with the derbyshire group since i moved out of the area and stood down so cant comment much on croft 08 but i doubt it was any less agro than the previous years i was actively involved with.
