Anyone fancy it this year, a cracking little show on the sunday, could always camp up at the usual on the saturday night for that home brew feeling :D... half hour drive to the show from there?

22-08-2009, 09:42
trying to get hold of the organiser but they are on a run today , looking at the met office forecast there is a weather warning for tomorrow ( up to 50 mm of rain in the area ) so its not looing good

stuTHC
22-08-2009, 09:50
Yeah, Lou's mum has been at the house in Bowness for the last 3 weeks and she says it's been rain, rain and more rain. At least you won't have a hosepipe ban! Would it be rearranged or just cancelled?

dave-sbs
22-08-2009, 22:17
sorry for taking so long but waiting for the organisers to get back to me after the run they have today.

They say the show is still on , but i am concerned that the met office website say there's a chance of really heavy rain and possible flooding.. what do you guys think , if you are prepared to drive up and risk the wet stuff - i would just hate for you to drive up to find a waterlogged field?

stuTHC
22-08-2009, 22:22

dave-sbs

Well last year was very soggy under foot, and we'd not had as much rain as this year, so im with Dave, i fear it'll be like a swamp, i also fear not many collectors will want to take their pride and joy classic out to a muddy field on a sunday.
Im gunna stay at home, get under lous feet and watch the grand prix. soz tim, you'll have to come along to the next curry meet :)

rtoctimgt5
22-08-2009, 22:52
