CCMC Show 2008

It had to happen one year and, in these times of economic gloom, our show Sunday was singled out to be the wettest day of the year so far. This had a dampening effect on attendance and the number of visitors arriving on bikes was understandably down, with many of our attendees choosing the comparative comfort of four wheels instead. Once at the show the benefit of having most of the exhibits under cover has never been more obvious.

However, notwithstanding the reduced turnout, the show was deemed a great success by all who attended and we are very heartened by the number of complimentary messages that we have received. We would take this opportunity to genuinely thank all the attendees for their unswerving support and we look forward to bigger and better things for 2009.
