Someone on Facebook did some number crunching which I shamelessly reproduce:IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Since our advert in the Spring 2014 edition of H.O.G.® magazine went to press, despite the considerable efforts of the South of England Rally’s organising committee, it has not been possible to negotiate acceptable terms for the use of Bisley for SofER in 2014, and we find ourselves in the position of having to consider other options. To allow adequate time and take advantage of this chance to explore all opportunities, we regret, as a result, that we must announce the cancellation of the event planned this year for 1-3 August.
The 5 organising Chapters and H.O.G.® are disappointed at this outcome and we know that many of you will be too.
We all have some great memories of SofER and would like to thank everybody at Bisley who has given us their support, friendship and hospitality over the last 10 years – the staff of the NRA, those at the clubhouses, and Bisley Pavilion. Thanks also to the sponsoring dealerships, traders and most of all, to you – the loyal H.O.G.® members and friends who have made SofER such a great H.O.G.® event to date.
In related news, the next meeting of the NRA's General Council is on Saturday 1st March...Assuming that every target was booked approx. 150 the income would be £14550 highly unlikely. 500 tent plots @£24 each £12000, 100 Huts or cabins @ £40 each £4000 Total income for accommodation £16000 highly likely, plus the loss to all the other club houses.
