I've not been able to get to this event for a few years due to various issues but I may be able to make it this year.

If you need to rely on the rain for any reason, then I suggest you chose this weekend as it always rains ;)

Is anyone from here going? Any plans for a stand?

I've known a year where the weather wasn't terrible for the entire North of the UK when POP was on.
If it is dry I might come down in the mini

It was the preceding weeks of wet weather that did for it last year making it very heavy under foot, on the weekend itself it wasn't too bad at all with the odd shower but any oudoor event will be muddy in those conditions. Lots of shows didn't even take place last year due to the weather let's hope we get a decent Summer this year !

This is a great event but always seems to be plagued by terrible weather. Both years I went it pi55ed it down.

I would definitely be going, but for the fact that I am already spoken for.
