Looks like Morton's have now snapped this one up. They say they intend to expand the classic side. Wonder what effect (if any) this will have on Wrighty's Telford Show? Quite a few months apart though. There is also an off-road show at Kempton Park this year (8th Dec), another new one.
From the ACU Weekly News:
Promoto Limited, the company behind the show (Dirt Bike Show) which has been building in reputation and stature year-on-year for the past 13 years at Stoneleigh Park is now in the hands of a new owner, Mortons Media Group. Mortons has a wealth of experience with motorcycle shows; particularly in the classic bike arena and this is an element of the Dirt Bike Show at Stoneleigh Park which Mortons intends to expand. It will be business as usual though with many familiar faces still working on the team and as outlined by co-founder Dave Watson, the Show will go on. "When we launched the Dirt Bike Show at Stoneleigh Park back in 2000 it was with a view to provide a quality exhibition that was good for the industry as a whole. We believe we have achieved this aim and it is now time for the original partners to step aside and allow the Show to continue developing. We are confident that it will do just that in the hands of Mortons and we trust the new organising team will retain the support of the dirt biking trade and public."
