SHOW UPDATES:

Wartime in the Vale 2021 

***SHOW CANCELLED ***

It is with immense sadness that myself & Emma have reached this decision, but we feel it necessary to cancel the 2021 Wartime in the Vale Show . This is one of the hardest decisions that we have had to make to date and we have certainly not taken the decision lightly, even more so with it being the 20th anniversary of the beginning of Ashdown Camp by Bob & Shirley James & the 80th anniversary for the Diamond T being held at the show this year. 

We have hung on long enough and have had to make the call.  We are all hugely disappointed, as I’m sure many people will be, but we had a lot of factors to take into consideration. As responsible event organisers we do not want to put anyone’s health at risk including our Vehicle Owners, Re-enactors , Traders,  exhibitors, or volunteers.  or indeed members of the visiting public. 

 To hold a show of this size requires people to adhere to the Covid rules but we do not have extra people power to Marshall  this nor would we expect to put are volunteers in possible hostile encounters over mask wearing or distancing, as we just don’t know how the pandemic will be in June. After last years cancellation we were very lucky & thankful that lots of our traders rolled over there pitch fees,  as the show costs a large amount of money to put on before we even open the gates especially in deposits, we are not confident the general public will be ready to attend the larger sized events and the hit that would be taken on the pay gate would put a stop to any future shows, so in order to preserve the show for future years we had no choice but to cancel.  We apologise for the disappointment that this will undoubtedly cause. 

We are hoping to hold some outdoor events (socials, road runs, Diamond T meet, market etc.) Later on in the year for vehicle owners and club members these will be posted to the show & camp social media pages.  Along with 2022 show updates: 

Next years date: **WITV 18th & 19th June 2022** 

 Thank you for your continued support,  

stay safe!
