Goodwood Revival weather
Did any of you have advance tickets bought for Goodwood last weekend but couldn't fly in due to the weather? Over Saturday and Sunday all I saw on the Met Office website was OVC003 +TSRA with SEV TURB throughout SOU, SHM, BRS, LGW etc.
Despite rebooking an arrival slot for Sunday and a review of the weather, it would have been madness to attempt to hack through that weather in a light single from the north of Scotland.
After returning my unused tickets and a full explanation of how disappointed we were not making it this year; the non-availability of scheduled flights to LGW or LHR at short notice; and the distance of our departure point, Goodwood have stood firm in their no refunds policy. I even asked for a compromise in replacing with tickets for next year, but this was also denied.
£350 out of pocket.
Thanks a bunch Goodwood.

11 hours one way by car. And we re-booked Sunday because ATC there reckoned the weather would improve by Sunday. In their defence it was an unofficial observation.

You won't get a lot of change out of Lord March 
... but then buying tickets on the basis that flying from Scotland should be at his risk, is perhaps a little silly?
