Live Promotion now charging for club displays :(

Oh dear, from some years ago when we could have 10 vehicles and 20 passes free at the Live Promotion shows, the organisers are now charging for display vehicles and passes
I've just filled in the application forms for Kelmarsh and the Spring Adventure at Driffield, and received the following:
"Thank you for your club stand application to Land Rover Spring Adventure 2019 for Land Rover Classic Campers. I will be in touch by Friday 29th March to let you know the status of your application.
If your application is successful you can book up to 10 vehicles at £10 each to include a weekend ticket for the driver only. Each vehicle entered is entitled to one other discounted weekend ticket at £10 for their passenger. (Maximum 20 discounted weekend tickets available per club)
In the meantime please be sure to advertise the show through all media channels to help promote this fantastic event."
Ok, it's not a lot, but we are travelling to these shows to display vehicles so they can charge the public to come in to view them!
There may also be an additional cost involved: for the last couple of years we have been asked to provide public liability insurance, not for the vehicles themselves (which will be covered by your existing vehicle insurance), but in case any member of the public is injured by display material, tent pegs, guy lines, fire buckets, firepits, wood, boundary posts/ropes, bunting etc.
We haven't done this, though most of the show organisers have been asking for it, but as the 'club official' (I sign the papers!), I feel we should be covering this in the future.
I estimate this would be around £45-£65 per show.
Clubs which charge fees usually cover this insurance, but as a free forum we don't have any funds, so this cost would have to be shared amongst the attendees.
Opinions, please: are folk willing to pay up to £20 or or so to display their vehicles, plus £10 for passengers?
