Bashfest - The biggest UK 5th Scale RC event is no more.

In the UK, we learnt the biggest 5th Scale RC event has been cancelled indefinitely. Bank Holiday Bash Fest was held twice a year in Northamptonshire. It is the focal even for most 5th scale RC fans in the United Kingdom. Hundreds of RC fans are devastated including yours truly.
This is the official statement from Bashfest dated 17 Jan 2018
----------------
Unfortunately the BHBF event will no longer happen. Rob & Neil would like to sincerely apologise to everyone who was looking forward to attending. It was becoming increasingly difficult to insure, especially after a ‘no win, no fee’ claim for £200,000 was made against us.
Thank you for your support and we hope that you can understand the difficult decision that was made and the reasons behind it.

Wow how sad is that, one persons greed killed an amazing past time for many! I hope another area will step up and support the 5th scale bash event out there......

That's such a shame that 1 person has ruined it for everyone else. Sad.

That’s sad news, was planning on popping my bashfest cherry this year lol. My local club has a large field we’re developing into a bash track for 1/5ths and we’re thinking of having a West Coast RC bashfest near Hayle, Cornwall

[@Nickwillfixit]

Has anything come of this in the Hayle area I am in north Cornwall but would come there often.

I'm sorry to hear that. What a selfish individual...

[@slyknezz6862]

There’s always that one person who ruins the fun for everyone. Piss off you, I say!

[@Waitingoutside]

I'm literally devastated. I loved the friendly vibe, I loved how everybody helped everybody else. Some people are talking of giving up the hobby because Bashfest was the only time they could run their cars properly. I'm angry at the one moron who ruined it very everyone else.

[@kurtschmaldinst3173]
