Made it to Kemble on Saturday and, given the weather, wasn't quite able to follow the AIC directions.

I'd echo the problem with the out-of-date TAFs and METARS. Surely it would have been possible to wire up a link at the booking-out tent, or even just a fax from Kemble Tower to give the current info.

I thought the arrangements were fine and the price OK. ATC as slick as ever. The twitchers seemed to be enjoying themselves. Parts of the display were great, esp given the cr*p weather.

Downsides:

1) ATIS inaudible
2) For sale park was limited and the flea market was much worse than previous years - probably due wx.
3) No real focus to the day

I'll go again, but mainly to support the PFA rather than because it is a spectacular event
