elverston castle
 

heard on the grapevine that elverston castle rally 2012 has been cancelled due to a waterlogged field can any one confirm if its on or off thanks

I heard from the chairman yesterday that it was still on

If you are that worried about the rally being on or off rather than start 2 threads why didn't you contact the organisers

Not difficult to find, rather than start rumours.

The Derbyshire County Show on the ground just across the road from Elvaston Rally site went ahead last weekend. With no major rain forecast over the next 10 days it's difficult to see why it would be cancelled.

Where do these rumours come from??

Doom mongers

This is the site tonight. Ground was firm, dry underfoot and in good condition

Will the monsoon weather we had today cause any problems,i hope not as i may be crewing.

Wouldn't have thought so. The gorund at Elvaston is usually quite good for drainage. Even when it gets really wet and chews up, it soon dries up. Heres looking forward to another excellent weekend at Elvaston next week.

I'm on the elvaston committee.

As far as I know there will be an inspection of the ground over ther weekend. I will post any updates on here and on the website.

Thanks nick

Dont tell Boziboz its on , then he can spend some time in the shed .

Shhh,he might send spies out on a reccy!

Thank's for that, I did get a phone call from a lady today informing me of the cancellation. My first cancellation of the year, I wonder how many more will occour?:(

How wrong one can be. This is the site today. Although parts of the actual showground look in good condition it like a big sponge with water ouzing up wherever you put your foot down As for the car parks and caravan / camping area it's not a pleasant sight
