They were stopped due to the need to have public liability insurance - being organised events.  The spirit of the meets lived on as the Iconic RC meets, which are held at tracks across the country.  You need BRCA membership to attend for insurance purposes.  I've done many Iconic events but never went to Clumber, from what I hear they were a ton of fun.

They were victims of their own success in that regard. A couple of people turned into a few, which turned into a group, which turned into a crowd. The powers-that-be noticed, 'elf and safety was mentioned, and thus came the requirement for insurance - which was clearly never going to happen for a free informal gathering, even a big one, so the meets stopped. A pity I agree, but such is the world we live in. The Iconic events sound like fun though - one day I hope to attend. If the vibe is similar to Clumber, I'm sure they'll be great!
