The Old Sod explains . “ You must have been concerned when you heard we are not holding future Sortouts at Newbury. By working with other events visitors now have a choice. If they wish visitors can combine a trip to the Sortout with something else interesting nearby. They have a choice of packing even more into one day or with an overnight stay spreading their visit over the weekend Thus many visitors will get more value for the cost of the trip. In turn Sellers should see even more potential customers."
See what you think of these four possibilities.

To clear up a misunderstanding. Our idea of a small event is smaller in comparison with a Newbury Sortout. That still would mean it is much bigger than any other organiser has yet achiecedachieved.. It also ignores that your ticket gets you into the other event as well so the final result is the Sortout will be be bigger and better than ever. .
