Abingdon 4x4 cancelled
I was planning to take my newly fixed G (brakes and suspension) to the annual Abingdon 4x4 off road course (re-modelled) which was a good run last year, but like so many other 2011 events it has been cancelled.
They are citing legal complications, which is probably code for someones contract/terms was asking for more money. Looks like at was canned a couple of weeks ago.
The FB page suggests it was Elfin Safety related issues, but I still suspect contracts, hence they cannot talk about it (probably compensation claims are involved)

Shame as it was an affordable fun day, and at least some good charities helped.

It might have been cancelled because the big Land Rover shows were not very well attended this year. I went to the Peterborough one a few weeks ago and was surprised how empty it was. Apparently, Billing this year was a big let-down for the vendors.
The trouble is as years have gone by, people tend to go to these events as a social thing,, don't spend any or much money, yet for the vendors it's a lot of time and effort to attend, for very little or no business.
