Guys reliable informt has told me that Kempton Campsite is closed as is apprently unsafe
Jonno?
im in the arena then lol
Unsafe? In what way? Have they told you whats unsafe?
unsafe due to heavy rain fall, its basiclly too muddy
Damnit. I hate rain. It hasnt made my so-called vacation very enjoyable (we got tons of it up here) :lame:
Where can you relocate? Whats possible?
Guys,
Yes the campsite is not in good shape,
It is the entrance and exit from the site which is the worst, the actual pitches where no vehicles have been are fine.
Saying that the crew wil probably be seeing it all in daylight this morning for th first time.
Im speaking to clive this morning to find out whats happening as im not there until this afternoon. They have said that they will make a special case to keep the roboteers at the campsite.
Looks like me might all have to muck in !! I cant control the weather :)
JOhn
ok so there has been several emails sent to teams this morning.
Briefly, the campsite is closed to any arrivals... however..... as we are a special case they will keep it open for us.
So check your emails, and there are further details. Or you can ring me if you like.
John
jonno.. can you send them to me please and add me to your mailing list.. i havnt got anything.
cheers.
Jonno, some of the Dutch are allready en route. Maybe you can text or call them?
This isnt good...

Vini vidi ran away from the mud.
Sorry guys really gutted, we really wanted to play. Hope all goes well for those who compete
RIAT is definitely cancelled for saturday http://www.airtattoo.com/airtattoo/Newsroom/news/Newsroom/AIR_TATTOO_CANCELLED_SATURDAYhttp://www.airtattoo.com/airtattoo/N...OO_CANCELLED_S ATURDAY
€œIt is with great regret that we had to take the decision to cancel the airshow on the Saturday but the safety of the public is paramount.
€œWhen it became clear that we could not guarantee the safety of the many thousands of people who had bought tickets for Saturday, the decision to cancel was straightforward.
€œWe are aware of the inconvenience our decision will have on the many thousands of people who have bought tickets for the Saturday but the potential risk of there being significant difficulties on the roads, in our car parks on the airbase itself were too high.€Â
It is anticipated that the show will be held on Sunday but it will be only for holders of tickets valid for Sunday. A decision in respect of this will be announced by 4pm on Saturday.
When we left Jonno was saying THE COMPETITION IS STILL ON FOR SATURDAY
w00t :proud: glad you guys could pull through :proud:
So wil john have to do the whole event on Saturday? Will there be time?
the air show is still on for sunday so competition as normal just no airshow on saturday is what I understood.
Even if theres no crowd, Im sure the competition will still start and go ahead on the Saturday. Jonno likes to put on shows; hell do what he can to make sure that unplanned interruptions such as the airshow cancellation will cause as little disruption to the roboteers and public as possible, even if adverse effects such as low audience numbers will put a financial dent in his pocket.
I dont know what the ticketing system is like for RR events at RIAT, if they have separate tickets to see the RR show or whether you get to see them if you have a ticket for the whole airshow but regardless of audience Im sure the organisers will allow RR to run the champs today.
And Ill just use this post to wish everyone competing the best of luck!
(my moneys on one of the Team Bud machines: Envy because its highly effective, Thor cos its badass and cool :))
My vote is on Apocalypse.
This is assuming the organisers allow RR to go on base and play or that they have enough bots. All that said, go Apocalypse.

AIR TATTOO CANCELLED SUNDAY
The organisers of the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire announce that the airshow on Sunday, July 13 will not go ahead.
The decision was taken following lengthy discussions between the organisers, police and other safety services. It was based on concerns for our visitors and the disappointing conclusion was that we could not fully safeguard them.
The public is asked not to travel to RAF Fairford tomorrow.
Despite a huge effort by everyone involved to improve the conditions of the waterlogged public car parks, it became clear by mid-afternoon today (July 12) that significant areas of the fields and of the showground remain unusable.
Air Tattoo Director Tim Prince said: €œWe have been working around the clock to improve the conditions on the airfield and in the car parks but unfortunately we have run out of time.
RIAT site has it that the air show is cancelled tommorrow too
Unfortunately that is the info have here on site as well. We are waiting for Jonno to make the announncement but it seems we cant compete tomorrow either.
sad to hear, I thought it would just be us wimps who wouldnt get to play.
Guys, its on!! Jonno had a looooooong meeting and the RAF agrreed for us to have our competition anyway. Great well done to Jonno, brilliant job.

Wow, been quite bumpy right from the start, hasnt it :proud:
Awesome work anyway, guys :proud:

Ace! Well done Jonno!
Congratulations Jonno, victory over the RAF.
Gird your loins guys & make us proud.
