Well, as Billing stuck two fingers up to the VBOA after they'd bucked what must be in the hundreds of thousands of £ over many, many years, it was very nearly the case that there'd
be no annual VBOA meet were it not for some very hard work between the VBOA, clubs and LMF literally bankrolling the whole thing, in a very Dunkirk spirited way.
LMF and the VBOA have been entirely gracious and not said a word against Billing Aquadrome for this sudden 180 in regards of their attitudes to car club meets; I would not be quite so kind. But I totally respect them for being so professional about it and the situation. I will, however be 'boycotting' the 'Vauxfest'. It's sad, however that for donkeys years the VBOA Rally was, and is known simply as 'Billing' so there'll be a ton of people who will go to Billing without even knowing the story behind the move to Habrough (or even that the VBOA Meet has even
moved to Market Habrough, and to them nothing will have changed, completely unaware of the politics that are behind the scenes. I don't want it to become a 'taking sides thing' however, imho, Billing don't deserve the revenue, that's all - not when there's the original event with the original team running it albeit on a different site.
