Below is a letter from Rick Feibusch - the guy who
puts on the Palo Alto All British Meet every
September. He used to organize a similar event in LA
(Woodley Park) until it was shut down/up/down from the
city due to park politics...

Hi Joe,
Things are not the same in LA....... The city has
stacked the cards against "show promoters" who are not
affiliated with charities and without massive
(like a $40K check from Jag or Range Rover, not $500
from Moss) sponsorship directly to a 501c3 charity. It
is hard to set this sort of thing set up - I call it
the charity concours syndrome. I don't know what is
going to happen to the Palo Alto meet as well -
Palo Alto will be building a performance arts center
on El Camino Park so this will be our last year there
and we will look for a new home for the event but
after years of dissapointment here in LA, I'm not
encouraged .....
Thanks for the note and keep in touch, hope to see you
next year in Palo Alto,
Rick
