Having been part of the Wollaton organising team for many years I feel I must respond to some of the comments made:
1. Although the event is partnered with Nottingham City Council it still makes a profit for the Club.
2. The number of stalls at the Autojumble has remained consistent at just under 100 for several years. There were 95 this year. The only reason for "empty" spaces along the far side is that stalls cannot be put in areas where the tree branches are too low. Tony I think you will find that your plot has also been the same for some years.
3. The gymkhana element of the event has, unfortunately, had to cease for health and safety reasons.
4. We have to accept the fact that people are not so willing to drive Austin7's long distances to Rallys with the roads being so busy.
5. The general public are attracted to the event by both the vintage and classic cars and also by the other attractions in the park - the fairground and the motor show etc.
6. Unfortunately the date was changed by the Council this year although this did not seem to effect attendance greatly. It is anticipated that we will be back to our normal date next year (1st Sunday in June)
It is increasingly difficult to get people to help with events like this, so anyone with good suggestions would be very welcome to put themselves forward to be involved with the organising team next year.
