Festival of Jurby to stop after ten years

Organisers make 'tough' decision as heavy regulation comes in

Organisers of the annual Festival of Jurby have taken the decision to stop the event, after ten years.

The Vintage Motor Cycle Club (VMCC) festival committee says it has made the decision as heavy regulation has come into effect.

And it says "responsibilities grow to surpass the capability of the small team that organises the event".

The group says a number of its members have made the decision to now stand down.

The decision has been made 'until further notice'.
