Who's setting off for Kemble today? Is it likely to be a washout?

I guess those that are going, have gone by now - and those that haven't are just lurking ...
We had planned to go but the TAFs seem to indicate that there WILL be rain on & off, some heavy - a bit like yesterday but maybe not quite so bad. So, with a vintage tailwheel carriage, our thinking became 60/40 against, the 60% prevailed and we haven't gone.

We've decided against. If any of you who are going without accomodation organised yet and want a Holiday Inn Express in Swindon tonight I have two rooms booked you are welcome to them. PM me.
Looks ok at the moment Kemblecam (http://www.kemblecam.co.uk/)

Went yesterday evening, got in around 1845, rained, went to beer tent, stopped, put tent up, went to Bigmisters barbeque, fell asleep at midnight, up this morning, no hangover - I knew it was cheap beer - left at 1400, few showers, home and in the pub by 1600 - wonderful time :ok:

Bit of rain, bit of lightning, nothing a PPL couldn't fly around, from what I hear, numbers down on previous years, but the kids loved it!!!

Went on Friday, rained in for a couple of hours then a quick dash back dodging some serious weather (except in the circuit with some heavy rain).
TAFS and local weather are bound to put a lot of people off, Saturday pm around here was definitely not a place to go flying

Didn't make it, despite trying for ~16 hours. :sad:
