This was Peter Jull (on left) announcing that the 2026 Hunnypot LDWA 100 event had come to an end. For organisers, this is a hugely emotional moment after hundreds of hours of work. The application to hold a 100 in Kent was received by the NEC in 2019, originally planned for 2024. Norfolk & Suffolk group’s application pushed Kent back a year and then Covid did the same, hence why we’re here in 2026.
There’s a huge amount for an organiser to do and Peter has worked tirelessly. Hopefully he’ll get some well earned rest as I’m not sure that he got much during the event itself, the years of planning have ensured a great event for so many people. It’ll go down as likely the hottest 100 that there’s been, which has produced some huge challenges for entrants, but at least it’ll be memorable. Peter and the team should be enormously proud of what they delivered, even if it may take a little while before any of them can hear the words “event planning” without needing a quiet sit down.
