Suda Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Does anyone have news regarding state of Cheshire Showground? Long haul up for us and many others so don't want to be turned away because we have not pre booked. This has already happened to people this season. Just passed Silverstone camping fields........need I say more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooie Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hi there, I live about 25 miles north of the show ground and it`s not looking good. The weather up here last week was terrible and i`ve heard that Warners have contacted people up this way to see what the conditions are like. 08:30am monday morning and it`s raining here now. I`ll let this thread know each day what it`s like if you want ? COME ON WARNERS don`t leave it till the last minute, some people travel a long way to see your shows !! Regards.

roger s Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 This week end hasnt been bad if the showground was wet then Saturday and Sunday could have dried things out. It is raining this morning though sun forcast this afternoon locally. Rain is forecast through the week till Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger s Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I am not getting at Lancashire Wooie when I say Real Lancashire, My birth certificate says I was born in Lancashire before politicians started messing around with counties - I still consider I live in S.Lancs - Warrington The Exhibition Team beat me to the forum I was going to post and say there hasnt been any heavy rain today and they posted on Facebook and part posted on Twitter. If it stays like this there should be no problems at Tabley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooie Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hi folks, the rest on Monday was very nice indeed, very warm, sunny and no rain at all. Tuesday 08:30am, raining very hard here, it did only start this morning at about 07:00am but it is now very very wet. Just seen the local forecast ( Granada News ) and it is not very good, but we all know how accurate they can be.....so lets hope they`ve got it wrong.....lol Perhaps " roger s " can come in on this because he lives a lot closer to the showground that i do. p.s. I wasn`t " having a go " Roger and it was meant to be a bit of fun. I`m very sorry for any miss-understanding. Regards. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmaggott Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 No need. I can tell you now it will be heavy showers. Been the past 3 cheshire shows and needed boots for every one. If you wait for the weather in Britain you'll never do anything except sit at home and look out of the window! Get some good weatherproof gear and get out there, you're a long time dead (as my Dad used to tell me GRHS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 This going to shows puzzles me :-S...........We've been to Earls Court once and Peterborough last year..........so that's 2 in 20 odd years :D...........

yeti Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 We used to live in Cheshire and they stole it from us and gaveit to Warrington and Widnes. They then put in a made up County of Merseyside and then dismantled it 10 years later,ironically our postcode is still Cheshire. Any way weather wise it has been dull with sunny intervals and sporadice but heavy rain,used to be called cloudbursts years ago. I spoke to my friend who farms a few miles from the showground who says ground conditions are fair but tractors and vehicle movement can make a real mess.

Brit_Stops Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 So today the Met Office is forecasting light showers all day Friday, the odd light shower Saturday and overcast but dry on Sunday, with - wait for it - sunny intervals! That's good enough for me - we'll be there with a smile on our faces and free sweets for all the hearty souls coming to enjoy the show! I mean, it's not like they've ever got the weather wrong, is it? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 That settles it then - it's obviously well worth doing 270 mile round trip for a free sweetie - never mind the rain wind and mud!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent - you know it makes sense... Mint humbug or the ever popular chocolate lime? And I forgot to mention - Alvin Stardust? Yes, THE Alvin Stardust! I mean, come on! Who wouldn't drive a measly coupla hundred miles to see this rock god perform? Steve :-D btw 380 mile round trip for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 That settles it then - it's obviously not worth paying anything to see Alvin Stardust - if fact he should be paying us to watch him - so perhaps we'll just stay at home and go fishin' instead after all! You really cannot be serious given the way that the entertainment tents are always cold and draughty!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger s Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The roads and rally areas are like a swamp - if you dont have to come I would advise against it. Been stuck for half and hour and not on the rally area yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmaggott Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 roger s - 2012-07-11 12:03 PMThe roads and rally areas are like a swamp - if you dont have to come I would advise against it. Been stuck for half and hour and not on the rally area yet In that case would the organisers advise just when they will make a decision as to the state of the ground and whether the show is to go ahead? A 'yea or nay' would be welcome rather than everyone having to decide if it's worth travelling with the chance of being turned away at the gate.
