It's not at all certain that the show will appear again. The committee has pretty much disintegrated and morale is very low.
In some ways the show was a victim of it's own success and had far outgrown the village in recent times. Unfortunately some of the less nice members of the motorcycling fraternity were less than polite to some of the local organisers trying to make it a lovely day for everyone, and this left a nasty taste with those who gave up their time to help on the day.

So that one is consigned to history for the time being!
I have heard that a few are trying to re-invent the show, but this will be at a location outside the village and take quite a different form.

If you do happen to cruise through Wimbotsham, you can pause by the pub and glance over to the village green bench which is now dedicated to Capo.
Thats too bad. Looking at the vid, it seemed like a good day out.
