Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Does anyone know if the bike event in Rawtenstall is on this year? I know it has been off for the last couple of years due to the town being redone. Just wondering as it was a good day out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 As far as I am aware, the Rawtenstall show will not be going ahead for the forseeable future. There is a bike show locally however (http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/5926 ... ow1pj3.jpg ) it attracted over 600 entrants in its first year in 2008Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoo Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Rawtenstall or "Rossendale Bike Show" as it used to be called was pretty good. I used to find it really strange, you'd be walking down the street and they'd be a Harley for sale in the Butchers window, next door was a hairdresser's with Oil for sale and a second hand exhaust. Next shop was equally as bizzare. The whole town was the show which was amazing. Shame it came to an end, hopefully they'll start it up again one day.http://www.rossendalefreepress.co.uk/news/s/524178_axe_falls_on_bike_show_after_lack_of_volunteers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stay over at the TT isle of man ,past the sunday all the shops revert back to sweet shops, antique dealers and theres allmost no sign of bikes , bikers ,or a tee shirt in sight . its bizzare to wake up in a ghost town .

Guest Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 was working in rawtenstall few weeks back in sombodys house they said that the reasons that it has not been on s because the marshalls wanted payin and that the places that were letting pepole park wanted to charge more money dunno how much truths in this No truth in this at all mate, the marshalls worked for nothing, but had a say to which charities any money raised via entrance fee parking etc was donated. One of the reasons I heard its been cancelled indefinately is because the old Asda (now Tesco) car park became unavailable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
