VBOA 2020 Sywell POSTPONED info and chat thread

[GreyDJ2]

Just had the following from VBOA. Note the later date.

The VBOA are pleased to announce that we are going back to Sywell Aerodrome for the VBOA Rally 17th-19th July 2020.

We have listened and learnt lots from the success of the 2019 event and plan to build from that to deliver another show that we as an association and community can be proud of! At present, exact details aren't going to be released with regards to activities/vendors etc but we will keep you all updated as and when we secure them.

All camping, hotel, day and other tickets will be on sale from the 1st of September 2019 in the relaunch of the VBOA website/shop, additionally a telephone booking option will be available. This will also include merchandise and left over plaques and stickers from prior years shows (where available).

The ticketing and hotel bookings will be taken "in-house" this year so we will have a one stop shop for all your VBOA rally needs. There have been lots of people contacting us for hotel rooms at the Aviator hotel onsite, please note we are NOT pre-reserving rooms as that is unfair, it will be a first come first served basis.

There is a VBOA meeting on the 6th October 2019, so if you have something to offer the event, be it help on the day(s)/being a vendor/a band or anything else then please let me know ahead of the meeting.

The VBOA Events committee are looking forward to seeing you all there next year and at any other shows in the between time.

Just to emphasize the above, please do NOT try to pre-reserve hotel rooms with until the booking is open.

Holding off on the date as they were informed yesterday Silverstone is now that weekend as they moved it to avoid clashing with Wimbledon:)

This was an earlier email from VBOA. I would suggest that he date is unlikely to change.

" after a successful show at Sywell aerodrome this year we are excited to confirm that we have been invited back by the owners for next year. However, The only available date is Friday 17th to Sunday 19th July. We have taken the decision to go ahead with these dates. We have also secured a deal with the hotel to keep all the room rates at the same rates as this year. This means all hotel booking will be made direct with the VBOA along with ticket sales. "
