Worthing bus rally cancelled as 'not financially viable'
A statement on the Worthing Bus Rally website said: "We have loved getting to know vehicle owners, trade stall owners and visitors alike and we hope that you can understand our decision."It was a difficult but unanimous decision to make but unfortunately, we are not receiving enough entries to make this a financially viable event."Many event supporters took to social media to express sadness and disappointment, highlighting the "enjoyable experiences" and "family fun" the rally had provided. The Bus Rally spokesperson said: "Over the past few years, we have noted a yearly decrease in vehicle numbers due to many reasons, this has led to a decrease in visitor numbers. "Which has equalled a decrease in funds coming into the event. "It also means that we will be unable to run a service that meets previous years' standards."
