Looks like the Gods are not favouring Lord March this year.
Thursday very light rain
Friday 80% chance rain
Saturday 85% chance rain
Sunday 95% chance rain
Those are predictions for 13:00. I am praying that the forecasts are of the usual standard regarding accuracy.

It's still a week away, let's keep our hopes up for some sun chaps  . They can't predict the weather correctly for tomorrow, let alone a weeks time!.

SWMBO and I are going on Sunday - we've been into town today and bought her a pair of Hunter Wellies in Royal Purple - the last wet F-o-S produced considerable volumes highly adhesive of mud.
Take a spare pair of Gucci loafers and leave them in the car so when you leave you don't have to get into your motor and ruin the shag-pile with the cack on your trotter cases.

Long term forecasts are rarely accurate, even close to the day they often get it wrong. I've been to several events this year that were supposed to have non stop heavy rain and on the day it's turned out dry!

Wet = Land Rover Dry = TVR Waaay to hot = Land Rover with AC turned right up (most unlikely to be honest) Hoping for a dry event to take the Chim for a run and park it next to some rather more expensive toys in Car Park G

The ground is fairly dry underfoot at the moment, but there are trackways everywhere so getting about between all the stands isn't a problem. I believe Thursday's a Press day though.
I'm hoping it doesn't rain, I've forgotten my coat, and am here all week, although it's pretty warm to be fair.
