Weather and camping/caravanning

Just heard tonight that the CC have cancelled their National Rally at beginning of June due to the site they planned to use being water logged.
Can we all keep our eyes and ears open for news on fields etc that are planned to be used for 40's events in the near future.

GMC 6x6 should be able tow you out if you get stuck..

torrential rains here and roads are flooding over doubtful if it carries on whether its worth us loading the van in this to go to thorpe camp, Mark isn't bringing his display anyway due to family problems he has to sort.

Alex & Tony have arranged to camp at a campsite near Thorpe Camp for the weekend but the owners phoned them saying they are closed due to flooding

thats half the fields in Lincolnshire at the moment Wayne due to it been flat the water table cant take anymore, you want to see it near us now.

We were booked on at Tattershall Lakes Centre but quiet area booking flooded last week then phoone call main area also a boggy mass. Had to cancel and change dates. Was really looking forward to this and had caravan packed ready . They telephoned an hour before we were due to leave

What flooding. The rain was very heavy Friday, but the event went ahead. No rain either Sat or Sun to speak of really. Numbers were down though due to anticipation.

Nice dry weekend at Thorpe Camp.

In hindsight a e mail should have been sent to all group organisers stating the ground conditions & so-forth it is a long way to travel for some 100 miles + to find out if it is still on.

Blue Campsite Much improved and dry
seven vans on site
We had good weekend very few light showers ,never got wet
less than 50% 0f booked members turned up

David it was heavy rain here all the way till saturday about 11am just because it didn't happen there doesn't mean it wasn't here am not gonna load the van in a downpour, just now we had a almighty thunderstorm with a flash flood then halfway through hailstone the size of peas, go figure

Hi. Yes all understood. It rained very heavy yesterday (Tuesday) and filled the pond up at the camp, nearly to overflow. What a rotten Summer. We have the 40s event at Woodhall Spa on the 21st 22nd July. So your guess is as good as mine as to what it will do.

Cheers, there is always next year.

[B]FESTVAL OF THE 40'S CANCELLED

Hi all


It is with deep regret that i have to share this sad news with you.


THE HEALTH AND SAFTEY EXECUTIVE has taken the decision to cancel the event not us as organisers.


We are extreemly upset by this decision as this has been 18 months in the making.


Everyone involved has been totally amazing, and as an event WILL BE ANNUAL.


Although this is a punchy short email, we will be in touch in depth to thank you.

Hi i was on my way when we got the message,to turn arround
once again rain stops play
try again
we may get a dry event

If you had your prams you could have camped on the site...

Lucky that somebody remembered we were away from home. We got the message from Mark as we were preparing to leave the site we were on to travel down to Peterborough. If we hadnt been informed and had gone there its lucky that we would not have had to cover too much extra mileage.
It was dry abd sunny on Thursday were we had been camped with only slight drizzle this morning.

If it wasnt for the fact that we were all packed up and putting the car on the trailer we might have asked if we could have stayed there for the weekend..........even tho the site was full of caravans from a one make club rally..... complete with obligatory fire buckets and idiots who dont really know anything about caravans.
