Having volunteered over a ten year period with the operator of a large collection of active aircraft, which also put on events and shows, I can relate to all of the points well made by TT. Without volunteer effort and commitment few shows would be viable. Few of the GBP realise that volunteers are involved – why should they, for them it’s just a day out.
The smaller shows actually organised by volunteers and often geared to charity fund raising especially deserve support and recognition, but their viability and survival is jeopardised by the increased degree and costs of assessment plus risk mitigation. Electronic payment up front and self printed ticketing seems an inevitability.
