ok so there has been several emails sent to teams this morning.

Briefly, the campsite is closed to any arrivals... however..... as we are a special case they will keep it open for us.

So check your emails, and there are further details. Or you can ring me if you like.

Vini vidi ran away from the mud.

Sorry guys really gutted, we really wanted to play. Hope all goes well for those who compete

RIAT is definitely cancelled for saturday http://www.airtattoo.com/airtattoo/Newsroom/news/Newsroom/AIR_TATTOO_CANCELLED_SATURDAYhttp://www.airtattoo.com/airtattoo/N...OO_CANCELLED_S ATURDAY

€œIt is with great regret that we had to take the decision to cancel the airshow on the Saturday but the safety of the public is paramount.

€œWhen it became clear that we could not guarantee the safety of the many thousands of people who had bought tickets for Saturday, the decision to cancel was straightforward.

€œWe are aware of the inconvenience our decision will have on the many thousands of people who have bought tickets for the Saturday but the potential risk of there being significant difficulties on the roads, in our car parks on the airbase itself were too high.€

It is anticipated that the show will be held on Sunday but it will be only for holders of tickets valid for Sunday. A decision in respect of this will be announced by 4pm on Saturday.

When we left Jonno was saying THE COMPETITION IS STILL ON FOR SATURDAY

the air show is still on for sunday so competition as normal just no airshow on saturday is what I understood.

Even if theres no crowd, Im sure the competition will still start and go ahead on the Saturday. Jonno likes to put on shows; hell do what he can to make sure that unplanned interruptions such as the airshow cancellation will cause as little disruption to the roboteers and public as possible, even if adverse effects such as low audience numbers will put a financial dent in his pocket.

I dont know what the ticketing system is like for RR events at RIAT, if they have separate tickets to see the RR show or whether you get to see them if you have a ticket for the whole airshow but regardless of audience Im sure the organisers will allow RR to run the champs today.

And Ill just use this post to wish everyone competing the best of luck!
