Good news, just hope the trains are running.  The North Circular is hideous to drive on even without a bit of snow to cause chaos.

Just had the call - the Show is a 'go' as planned.

I'm hearing that a final decision will be made at 10am. My personal view, as one who is working at the Show with sessions on the main stage, is that this should be pulled now. "The Show must go on" sounds great as a soundbite but the reality is that even if I can get there, what is the point of talking to a 2/3rds empty main hall.

My tickets say Saturday. When I bought them I had to choose which day. These are the advance £10 RYA member ones.

The National 12s had planned to display a brand new (not sailed yet) Dead Cat Bounce but due to the road conditions they've now pulled out from the show completely. A shame, but saves a possible road incident with a new dinghy.

I didn't think tickets had days on them?

I have messaged @dinghyshow to see if, due to the weather and possible train cancellations, Saturday tickets can be used on Sunday. So far I haven't had any response.
