RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted February 22, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2022 A good job the show was not a week later. Had a news item from BP Fairs over the last weekend to say that Doncaster Racecourse event was called off on February 20th as the venue had no power. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall there being no power (apart from the emergency lighting) at a show in York Racecourse a few years back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted February 26, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2022 Some of us kept our milk outside, but collecting it could be hazardous...
