Well, another victim of this awful weather we are having:

all horse classes for tomorrow and Thursday have been cancelled due to ground conditions.

When is this weather going to let up? Fedup.com

Wonder if refunds will be issued after the show ran today? We should have been competing tomorrow. Also heard that a lIt of trade stands haven't turned up and others are planning on leaving early. Summer?!?!

It was taking 3hrs today just to get the wagons onto show field today, i think under the circumstances they have done the right thing canceling the horse and pony entries, my friend had five going tomorrow, i hope she hasn,t started bathing early.

Just been looking on the BBC weather - apparently we are on the wrong side of the jetstream and the outlook continues wet for the foreseeable future

They are giving everyone refunds

I called just after the chairman got out of his meeting. They told me to write in to get refund.

The RHS was a complete mess when I was there on the sunday. Im not surprised the rest of GYS has been cancelled. Its such a shame.

Going by state of T in park at weekend, itl be interesting how the organisers cope with the thousands attending the olympics. Its not far away and the weather aint budging.

Yes it's such a shame. I think I'm still going to make a trip to Harrogate/Ripley tomorrow seeing hubby has day off... I think maybe a lovely lunch somewhere is in order if I get my refund :-)
