Cancellation – The Victory Show, Cosby nr Leicester
Due to the sudden and unusually persistent heavy rainfall, a decision was made by the organisers of the The Victory Show to cancel the event on both Saturday September 6th and Sunday September 7th.
As with any cancellation of any event the very difficult decision was taken following discussions between the organisers, exhibitors, police and other safety services. It was based on concerns for the visitors and the disappointing conclusion was that we could not fully safeguard them or provide an event in these conditions deemed worthwile for them to visit.
Despite a huge effort by everyone involved to improve the conditions of the waterlogged public car parks and ground display sites, it became clear that significant areas of the fields and of the battleground were unusable.

Called into the farm this morning after work.
the place was allset up .
a lot of work had been done since last year with a long section of the hedge taken out at the front of the main battle field in front of the grass bank .
all with a hardcore base laid down and fence erected . it would also serve for a car park for the night time dinner dance in the large marquee.
all the trade tents etc all set up . what a lot of effort gone to waste due to this weather,
the days of just bring some wellies are gone today . its now all Health and safety .
Once again a real shame for all the hard work thats gone on over the year for it all to end due to the weather.
