Lyn Brailsford, of Bexhill 100, said: “The decision to cancel the show has been one of the hardest the committee has made , we have left it as long as possible taking all factors into account.

“We feel that in interest of club members and public safety we can not implement social distancing on such a huge scale .

“Many of our marshals and helpers on the day are in a high risk catogorie and would not be able to help. So a shortage of helpers will be restricted, and many will not be happy handling cash on the day.

“There is still doubt that large gatherings will be allowed at this time .

“We have worked hard with Rother district council and taken advice from the covid 19 information sites .

After such a successful show last year in raising over £24,000 for two local children’s charities and reaching £98,000 raised over the last 15 shows . we wanted to break the £100,00 mark this year. This will not now be possible .

“So planning now is for our 2021 show see you there.”
