Weathers looking 'iffy' for Sunday but a bit of rain won't stop me. :P

They cannot even get the weather review right so no need to worry at this stage.

I suggest we keep a close eye on the weather and make a judgement call nearer the time. If people are still keen, we could worse case scenario, all meet at Newlands and then drive to somewhere we can avoid getting soaked!

Its now looking particularly bad over night into the morning, very windy and wet! Our first winter storm of the season.
I have a bit of a journey as I'm not local and would be looking to leave around 07.45, I need to keep an eye on the weather as it's looking quite bad with gusts of 65mph and debris possible.

Weather is looking better according to my sources. Wind and rain to start reseeding at about 8am.

Ca'mon you lot, it's only a bit of wind and rain. It's not exactly hurricane Katrina! :driving:

Hi, yes updates are better! Looks like it's blowing through in the early hours so conditions should be better so it's still on for me!

I am in between Petworth and Newlands Corner and the forecast for tomorrow morning is a lot better now than it was. I think it has all arrived a bit sooner than originally thought - it's pi$$ing down here right now!

See y'all tomorrow! :)

Yeah, seems like the shite weather arrived a bit earlier. Means my car cleaning was wasted but at least should mean a better meet in the morning!

No car cleaning for me today which is a shame as I love cleaning my car for a meet, I did however fit my LCi side repeaters that came today.

Updated 3 hours ago
A spell of heavy rain and some very strong winds are expected to sweep across southern and southeastern parts of England during Saturday night and Sunday morning. Gusts of 45-55 mph are likely inland and 60-65 mph near English Channel coasts, but we expect the strongest winds to affect coastal counties from the Isle of Wight eastwards, where 70-80 mph gusts are possible (see separate Amber warning).

Please be aware of the risk of difficult driving conditions due to localised surface water flooding and possible debris from trees.

Abarth 595 Comp.
Golf Clipper - collectors item
