Bloody Mary 2010

Too true Phil .. I was refering to the Feb edition though! Called off at 12:00, leaving those of us who had booked and paid for travel lodges unable to claim a refund or amend to the new date, due to it being after 12:00 .. The cutoff time for cancelations!!

Originally posted by Merlinboy I don't think they have ever cancelled a Bloody Mary, I was too young to remember but what happened to the BM in the 1981 and 1984 big freezes??

Are the winners not listed in QMSC in the galley area? Google is not my friend today

from memory they have cancelled it only once to date

Originally posted by motayotty Rang the Club this afternoon.  At this time it is not frozen and they are going ahead with plans. Should this change the website will display that it is cancelled at midday tommorrow.   Otherwise see you all there. Cheers Simon 'Coastbuster 1359'

I was hanging wiv da staines massiv disafternoon,

and it was actually reasonably mild most of the major roads were clear the side roads were a little icy. A308 (route to club from M3) was fine. Will icy onto tonigh and go through another freeze/thaw cycel tomorrow, but I would have imagined that QM could have cleared the road 'upstairs' today - and based on the weather forecast doubt it will snow much before Sat am.

Let's keep watching - of course if QM were really clued up they'd be posting in this thread but given their website still looks like it was made in 1873 then I guess we can't ask for too much....

My guess is that if the club is accessible and boats can be launched safely down the steep slope then the event will go ahead. The BM. means too much for the club to cancel without a V good reason.  They overcame foot and mouth for an open several years ago so will be doing all things possible to make this happen.  V. cold last year and looks pokier this year. Wind chill will be acrtic. (approx -16C going by the windspeed).  So wrap up warm and good luck. I'm giving it a late call personally.
