It might be the only Camel you see at Billing!
The CTClub is having a hard time with the organisers, Live Promotions. Now, the is always two sides to a story and it is more complicated than it sounds, but basically we face a bill of £1275 plus vat if the club wants to put on a display.
We note that the G4 club isn't on the list of clubs. Is this a conscious decision, or just one of these things?
I remember the Billing "good years" when we had a G4 vs CT challenge in the main arena! I can remember who won, or even if it was a competition, but I recall Jerry Thurston got a soaking!
Cheers

Must be a mistake by the organisers they do know we are attending and putting on a club stand, at the end of the day live promotions are a business
and to keep the shows going need to be profitable, in the past the trade pitches covered the costs so clubs could have more free tickets. But i think they are better
to do as they have done we pay for any extra tickets required as a club. The other option is like lr max at stoneleigh did and just cancel the show and not run it again.

There are other shows that fall over themselves to invite clubs as they know we are a draw for the crowds.
We build a display, have an impressive stand, do arena events, write editorial for magazines/programmes, supply photos, and spend hundreds of pounds in fuel to attend. Most organisers recognise the investment we make. It only seems to be Live Promotions that takes an adversarial approach.
One of our committee heard today that another large club is getting grief, so perhaps it is not just us!

Just emailed Kelly and she amazingly never received the reservation form, i agree other show organisers bend over backwards to get us to attend and live
do the exact opposite. Will have to give her a call in the morning and find out whats going on, but at this rate there could be no camel or g4 club in attendance.
We didn't get invited in the arena at Harrogate which was the first time ever, i hope they don't have a problem with us only having three cars at Billing last year after they changed the dates.
