Yes. It was grim. Less traders and private stalls, and higher prices with limited bartering. The only thing I bought was a pre ordered drive on plate from Big Mart.
I think the problem has been the attitude of the organisers towards outside traders and the location. Newbury rally in the summer had I guess 100-150 traders and it took me all day to see them all. Newark is an awkward location to get to unless you live near the A1.
