User0083 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Stephen there are 3 reservoirs pretty close, Foremark , Staunton Harold and Stanton! I would say 4/5 miles away.....all watersports friendly I stand corrected I'm a southerner and even Birmingham's too far north! So was unaware of them.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 That's not looking too bad. I've set out with worse predictions before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN_B Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Dan, I don't blame you, we too are having second thoughts and might consider going down on Sunday instead, would you be up for that? It's Saturday or nothing for me this weekend mate... I'll text you my number now, and just let me know your final plans tomorrow :-) Richard, thanks for the PM.

IanG1 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Morning weather update, I live around 5 miles as the crow flies from Donington and at the moment it has just started to rain steadily after earlier drizzle. Hope to go up a little later if things improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellski Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Taken the executive decision to come over tomorrow, just got to resist eating all the muffins so they'll be some left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Light rain for an hour this morning rest of day has been cloudy but no rain :-) Show is pretty good but needs more westies to turn up tomorrow. Biggest surprise so far toy box has a stand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanG1 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Managed to pop up for a few hours, think weather forecast must have put people off as whole club area was a little sparse. Enjoyed chatting to a few folks but glad I didn't have to pay the entrance fee. I guy I chatted to had come over from Ireland just for the show with his mrs and kids in toe? told him to try Stoneleigh next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 It's still very much a work in progress as a show, but it is getting better, though the WF club area was a bit light on Westfields, frightened away by weather forecast, or the clash of events with Curby etc, I don't know. Bit of light rain on the way down, but not too bad, and on the A50 dual carriageway, it all blew past without any coming in, so didn't even need to stop and put the roof up. Ah dear, I really shouldn't have gone inside now though. First sight of the supercharger upgrade kit that will soon be available for the Mega S2000! Need, Want.... (even if it wasn't quite in its final version yet, and needed a few tweaks, still looked promising!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestieM Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The forecast frightened me off but I'll get there tomorrow unless it's lashing down at 09:30 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulm3 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I'll be there tomorrow, meeting Christian then cruising up for 10am. Weather looks a lot better than today, plus gave me a day to do some work on her ready for the drive/show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
