Do you know why Cluny? Financial reasons?

Oh well, unfortunately I think the organiser was a little over optormistic as to what people wanted and what they were prepared to pay for it! He was also a bit too keen to turn it into a two day event I feel. :(

According to this Oxford Mail article, the organiser is citing poor advance ticket sales.

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
