We are in the height of the main Holiday season and this August weather has ruined most outdoor activities particularly those that operate on grass fields so as operators we have to be very careful not to ruin these grasslands that provide a most important part of people’s lives and their livelihood. Such is the case with Car Boot Sales we have to take great care not to operate on a soaked field because it could spell the end of a season as vehicles struggle to get out of a mud drenched field reduced to slime. We have been operating since 1989 and have run up to 10,000 sales in that time up to half a million sellers and millions of buyers but we have never run a Car Boot Sale that has done untold damage to a field such as the Newquay Circus Fields have suffered at the expense of gross incompetence and stupidity of one man Scott May and his alleged Daredevil Stunt Show that has haunted the also alleged Newquay Entertainment scene for far too many years.

I agreed that his stunt show could share the grounds whilst the Circus was in the other field but once the Circus had gone his show would move to the Circus areas.

CAR BOOTS CORNWALL has looked after that land for near 18 years and customers will know how good the fields looks because CBC pay for the grounds to be kept in pristine condition for our customers who have relied on us to provide them with the opportunity to run a small business by selling their own property which is supported weekly by thousands of buyers who flock to these very important Community gatherings. Over the years countless small businesses have been established by regulars who absolutely depend on the Car Boot Sales as part of their income so it is important that they earn money for the entire season.
Due to the heavy rains in August it has been necessary for me to CANCEL two Car Boot Sales to protect the grounds for future days which represents a serious loss to the people who depend on our events going ahead but they understand our reasoning’s for those cancellations.

I inspected the grounds and was left in no doubt that it would be in the interest of Public Health & Safety not to use the grounds which were becoming sodden and we could ruin the field for the rest of the season.
On Monday (our day off) I received three phone calls asking if I had seen the state of the fields at Newquay left by Scott May. My immediate reaction was to go to Newquay to discover that his vehicles had ripped great chunks of grass and mud slices from the entrance gates right up to the top of the field making the entire field absolutely impossible for and vehicles to go into the field until the rains stop which could be up to 14 days! The gates were locked by us on our last Car Boot Sale Tuesday 19th August and as we left we noted Scott Mays advert directing his public to the gates of the Circus Field so I was content that the Car Boot Fields would not be used, so against the agreement Scott May blasted his way into the fields with his heavy stunt vehicles knowing full well that those vehicles would rip up the fields yet he still went ahead and he has ruined those fields for countless members of the Community who rely on our twice weekly Community Car Boot Sales.

What irresponsibility, what Gross Ignorance and what a selfish act and what a kick in the face to my customers, sincere apologies for those people who cannot earn their weekly wage because of the actions of a complete egotistical and brainless TWAT! Remember the name Scott May-avoid the show!!
