....but they are taking benchrest far too seriously.

I am told that a team member was feet away from this, guess who?

Hope Nick heals quickly.

See you all Sunday can you all bring tissues please, for Spongee

Why Nigel, do you think he will get 'over excited' at the thought of an Oaks victory?

[colin857]

well am hoping to be able to shoot this one but my back is playing me up at the moment but will be there tomorrow to help set up

[Steve L]

Hope the rain stays off till after or it will be like Swallows monsoon all over again

Certainly forecast to be rather damp, but the wind doesn't pick up to Swallows' monsoon proportions until the evening. Have a close look at these figures from Metcheck. Scary

From Until Temp Feels UV Rain Cloud Speed Gust
1:00 3:59 9 °c 8 °c 0 0.0 mm 95 % 9 mph 11 mph

22:00 0:59 13 °c 7 °c 0 1.7 mm 96 % 230 mph 276 mph

Think their forecast engine/computer may be overestimating the wind strength from 7pm onward. At least, I certainly hope so

Think I'd better go and dig out my floatation suit. It was that which saved my day during the Swallows torrent; I was probably the only person to stay dry and warm.

Big question is .....

Should I risk getting my MPR all soggy or, as I did on that infamous Swallows SIHFT round, use my Prosport?

Difficult one.
