The gate will be open at the start of the day for competitors to drive onto the field.  Then it will be locked again.  It can be opened again during the day if competitors need to drive in and out, time permitting. Spectators are welcome, but unless they want to stay all day like competitors, will need to park on the right along the slip road just off the main road.  The parking here is obvious and used by locals who come to walk the footpath around the field.

I’m afraid I’m on holiday that weekend, so will miss what is probably the last event of the year. Hope it’s a good one for everyone else.

The forecast is improving as we nearer the weekend, we need more competitors to register to make this dramatic finale take place to end our season.

I understand from Neil that Paul C is intending to come along if the comp is called "on" - so we have the required numbers (just!).
Neil will be making the weather call later but it does seem to have improved since yesterday's forecast so don't make alternative plans yet!
