THE 2007 RALLY IS ALL SET UP AND READY TO ROLL!! NOT CANCELLED!!
We mention this only because of some Chinese Whispers brought to our attention
(1) that the "weather" has caused us to cancel (Untrue! since when did the weather
stop an English event anyway?!) and (2) the field is all boggy (it is absolutely not!)
Right now the weather is perfect. It may or may not stay that way.
Who cares! We look forward to seeing you at The 2007 Trad Rally!
Bring your sun glasses and sun lotion!

I feel very sorry for these chaps/chappesses. I saw them come up on Friday when the river was fast in some wonderful boats, going to their annual meet. It is a shame, but then it IS England /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Lots of us now going to have a 10 day Trad Rally, Dunkirk spirit in abundance!

Fun seeing one of the Regatta sheds floating down river, and at Temple Island there is the framework of a large marquee across the river, afloat (aluminium?).

Still could be worse. At present we have cesspits, a working toilet block, water etc. Just off to get another box or two or Shiraz!

We were hosting a wedding reception in our garden on Friday. I think the guests will need to bring their wellies. That said, I doubt the marque people will be happy putting one up in the water.

On the bright side, the wine has just been delivered from Laithwaites and is sitting in boxes in my hallway.

Well, if the wedding is rained off and you need help in dealing with the wine I'm sure we will all rally round to help.
