Well needless to say I won't be in the buggy. Not sure whether I will visit or not, all depends on work at the moment, I could well be back in the office.

I should be heading over mid afternoon, weather permitting.
They give a few showers but no downpours.
fingers crossed

Ok heres the full SP,still drizzling here,show ground is pretty firm at the moment although boards have been laid to entrance to field,will get more churned i presume as stall vehicles set up.I  spoke to an organiser and he said as no one has registered then no one can get in,so no muscling in there!.Spectator parking is half a mile away in a field,its on the 1081 st albans rd,cravells rd entrance,the exit is out of walkers rd,if you google map it you will see,the field is by st johns wood,you have to walk from your car through harpenden cricket club.All side rds are taped up and wardens on the prowl,i got moved with blue badge!!.many rds will be closed.The signs for show are in yellow.This main rd gets chocker @ 4-6 pm.Perssonaly if it stays like this i wont bother,but you more hardy weather guys dont be put off lol.Oh i did notice that the field you park in,that the exit has a nice long slope on it! could be a little sticky getting out. thats it,hope its been some help toyou.

Graham, am loving the updates, will await the verdict on whether the ground is "good, going to soft"
Are you ok with the traffic reports and the all important car park situation?  ;D ;-)up

Seriously still 50:50 here for me  :'(
