Has Bruntingthorpe ever had a dry CWJD?

For those in the know, is there a facility for informing prospective attendees if it's cancelled?

Martyn : I would guess Gaz or Bubbles will post any news if there is any doubt.

Unfortunately I will miss this year's bash as (apparently) I have to organise a BBQ for around 30 people (for Luca's first birthday party). So I am also praying for a dry day. <Thinks > I might invite Clunes to the barbie as it never rains when we get together. B-)

First year since 2007 I'm not going, decided I'd much rather have 2 Dakota displys and a BBMF Dak flypast at East Kirkby on the Monday instead :D :))
Can't afford to do both so EK won in the end ;) :D

Hope it's dry for you though :)

Thanks, Gaz. I do remember that day....I'm still drying bits out. But it was only really bad on the day, whereas we have had a lot of rain continuously for a month. I was just wondering if the grass is OK for parking........all the hardstanding seems to be taken by bendy buses. :D
