Not sure about massive kick offs or kick offs at all really, they had to change the date of the show because of the F1, who wants to clash with an F1 event? - no one. Something about the FIA dragging their heels when it came to confirming the date and all this - they confirmed the other week.
Yeah people booked hotels way in advance but thats what happens when you book something that far in advance - and those who did book hotels can probably coin in by selling on their room to someone who wants the room at 5x the price.

Will be a shame to not show with CS but the organisers at PVS have made it so difficult and wouldn't blame you if you decided not to bother with the hassle.
No one is saying we aren't going to the show... just be nice if we could rewind the clock a couple of years

Billing is definitely the best show I've been to. Much nicer chilled atmosphere. Bit gutted I couldn't go this year. Should be able to in 2016

Skipping PVS 2016 altogether after the new organizers made a right shambles of it this year the way club stand spacers ect was organized & all laid out and the entertainment around the pod was very poor imo and i found it boring compared to previous years and to be honest couldn't wait to get back home from the show,it seems to be getting worse these past couple of years.
I know for certain i wont miss it.

Little update on this as I've just found the email, not sure if its public information but I can see no reason not to -
quote:
Members have complained that hotel rooms are not available for the rescheduled Billing date of July 15-17 2016. I checked on-line reservations for the Premier Inn hotel which is on Crow Lane adjacent to the Billing site to find that the system currently only goes up to May 2016. I spoke to Premier Inn central reservations who said the hotel was fully booked that weekend but did not know why. They put me onto the Billing hotel who confirmed it was booked "as July is very busy with the GP, shows at Billing and Santa Pod". I explained that we were one of these shows and the GP was on the 10th. He checked some more and said that the rooms for that weekend were not booked, just "not released". In other words they are sitting on them until dates for events are clarified and they will no doubt formulate a pricing policy to take maximum advantage of the local situation. His advice was to check on-line reservations on a weekly basis as actually they had a "lot of rooms" - just not released yet!
So Premier Inn are playing guess the price but this isn't really a VBOA thing - its common practice for Billing to tell PI about the events and PI to release/price rooms accordingly.
I think if anything, PI shouldn't take the piss with prices when its busy and possibly Billing shouldn't be assisting but this is not really the doing of anyone in charge at VBOA. And certainly not a result of the event having been moved.
I also very much doubt camping is an issue?
If you've got specifics I'd be glad to hear them but that's my current understanding - its too early to book which is why you can't and usual rules apply, keep checking and be early. Not really sure of any grounds for kick offs, particularly in light of that info above.

Need to get the numbers that want to go to PVS to go to Billing 
That would be ideal but they don't come over, probably due to VBOA silly rules about needing to pay for membership just to be there which makes the tickets effectively twice as expensive.
Billing is a far nicer show though especially if you're there at night.
I enjoyed Billing last year, relaxed and not full of idiots (like I hear PVS is)
Hull Motor Show is a good day out too
