Richmond BE Update and Times??

[DarkHorseB]

BE have just put this on Fabcebook

Richmond (2) running from 17th to 19th August is currently going ahead as scheduled, however, the weather forecast is not great for the next few days so please keep checking the website, Facebook, Twitter or the BE Hotline for further updates.

According to BBC weather forecast it is due torrential rain right about the time I start my jumping phases tomorrow
Having got to within 10 miles of Hendersyde the other week before turning round as roads completely flooded not sure I can face another wasted journey.

Also am I being blind or are times still not up? It is saying times not due till 6pm tonight I think that is the day they were due when only Saturday and Sunday are running but not a lot of notice for anyone competing tomorrow?

Just seen the same thing on the BE website! Does this mean that there is quite a bit of doubt about running?

No times yet, been checking too and thought it was a bit wierd that they didn't go up yesterday, agree not a lot of notice really for the Friday people!

Times are up now. I live approx 20 mins from Richmond and having had a hot dry week last week our ground could still take a fair amount of rain. I am entered for Sunday and I am not overly concerned yet about cancellation.

argggghhhh I hope it does run! I know we are a fair distance away but the ground here in york is like concrete!

Like Ive said before I wont be a happy bunny one bit if sat/suns competition gets abandoned for the sake of running extra classes on friday. I applaud the fact they have tried so hard to put extra on for everyone but at the same time I dont think it would be fair for those who had entered first and set time aside for the weekend days. Lets keep everything crossed EVERYONE gets to go!

Yes I tend to agree. Fingers crossed.
