I have heard today that they may cancel the show SURELY NOT the reason being that most of the carparks still need to be harvested, please let the sun shine so they can bring the harvest in. :fc:
-
Says in the Farmer'sGuardian that the rumours are unfounded.Hope so.
-
They have now cut the grass and with any luck the ground will dry out.
-
Thanks CF
Sally
-
went upto builth today and yes they have cleared a lot of carparks
-
The weather forecast is not good for tonight and tomorrow , might be enough to reconsider ! :(
-
This is the best show in Europe it has to take place, theres been lots of muddy car parks over the last 10 years and people still support the Royal Welsh with crowds of over 250,000. :fc:
-
If it gets too wet over the next week then what? " IF WET IN THE VILLAGE HALL " :innocent:
-
How about at your place Doug? :innocent:
-
This rain is not helping those car parks, i live 10 mile from builth and it is hammering down.
-
If they can clear a car park full of ravers in a few hours at the big dance events with just a couple of tractors and some die hard customers with 4x4 - I am sure they will manage in a show that has hundreds of tractor enthusiats attending and hundreds of big arse tractors round the place.
Its about time they took it on the chin and got some ali track ways down on the ground too for the event.
-
They have issued a statement to say that the show will go on as usual.

Glad it looks set to go ahead, good luck to everyone who has entered :thumbsup:
Would like to make the trip one year with piggies :)

I have heard a rumour that if the weather continues to be disgusting, the RWAS will be held for the first day and then the rest of the days will be cancelled. This means that the committee can claim off their insurance. If they cancel before the event then they can't claim.
-
Who is going and when?
-
I am going. Probably on the Tuesday

I'm not.

I'd like to see anyone get insurance, even the Royal welsh show - for a anything that in the event of cancelation due to rain would pay off.
-
'God' and 'his' events always hits the pocket - insurance dont pay out for that - after fraudsters and leaches have had their share of our insurance premiums there is not much left for genuin claims (or insurance claims as it used to be known)
-
I am staying here trying to get the show sheep in some form of shape for Pembroke County. Can't face the long shows any more and no one back here to look after the rest of the mob if I wanted to go. And tbh I am another who hates the crowds.

If they claim not paying out through " Act of God, " Can you counter claim " only if you can prove his (or her ) existence ?
-
We only go to the Smallholders Show and the Winter Fair/Fatstock show. Not keen on Royal as far too many people for our likeing, although its a good "family" day out if you've not been.
Fronhaul - see you at Pembs :thumbsup: Are you doing Cardigan? (provided it doesn't get rained off !) :wave:

If rain permits I'm taking Jacobs to Cardigan, Fishguard and Pembroke and BWM's and possibly the odd Shetland to Martletwy as the Shetlands outing earlier this month was cancelled. Only one ram is looking right at the moment though so plans are liable to change but hopefully will catch up with you somewhere Blinkers.
