Isle of Anglesey Motorcycle Show 2008

CANCELLED BY SHOWGROUND COMMITTEE

This is part of the E-mail I was sent at 4.50pm on Friday.

Four and a half working days before we were due to open.

"The Society has asked me to advise you that it has this afternoon received a further e-mail from Acting Chief Inspector Andy Williams of the North Wales Police.

In the e-mail, the Police have strongly recommended that the Society refuses permission for your event.

I am not at liberty to disclose the contents of the e-mail but can say that the Police have advised that there is a heightened risk of serious public disorder and criminality at the event and recommend the show is cancelled.

As such, and in view of the heightened risk to public safety, the Society has, with much regret decided that it has no option but to accept the recommendation of the Police and refuse consent for the show."

I have no choice or say in this.

Once again I have had to pay out for equipment hire, printing, consumable supplies, etc. Once again I won’t get that money back.

Please write/phone/E-mail your MP.

Ask “How can the Police be allowed to do this”

They haven’t gone through the courts or the licensing authorities.

They haven’t produced any “evidence” to back up their position.

We have never called the police to any of our events to deal with any violent behaviour, EVER.
