I’m not surprised. I get the feeling it may end up a ghost show ... very disappointing.

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

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.

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

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.

Whilst the venue is lovely, it isnt the easiest place to get to, especially considering the current conditions. Was hoping to talk to RS about a "show offer" new Aero ... but may not be able to travel now.

It'll be fine, we're thawing here at the moment and temperatures by Saturday are expected to be a balmy 6c don't be pussies all your life I'm disappointed in the National 12s I thought they were a class with a bit of gumption.
