This was coming like a Choo Choo train. HR thought they would get clever and steal the businesses that Bushys had built up over the years. What they did not expect was the Government to step in and give Bushys access to the Villa Gardens, which last year was a monstrous success.
The attendance in the HR tent by contrast was poor to say the least. They promised a more upmarket facility ( with the prices to match) , and ended up scaling back significantly what they originally proposed to deliver and oddly there was no TT branding whatsoever, but results show that there was clearly no demand for it. I wish I had put my money where my mouth was last year when I said there would no way in Hell that HR would be there next year.
