With a distinctly dodgy forecast, ICL Team Captain Andrew scrubbed the Saturday tasks on Friday afternoon. Which turned out to be a good call with 36mm of rain in the last 24 hours and most of it falling from 11:00am, the airfield became river-like.

| The weather station said it's raining cats and dogs...... |
The Club kit which had been readied, was returned to undercover in between the tumults. At about 18:00pm it became quite pleasant and warm (or even hot) in the early evening sun with the field draining and everything gently steaming.

| Visitors campsite |
The barbeque was lit and the evening sport and entertainment began. We hope that more visitors will arrive before Briefing tomorrow morning.
News from Competition Enterprise at Nympsfield
I woke up to the sound of very heavy rain on my tent, always a good
start to a competition. The rain carried on all the way through the
opening briefing where the day was scrubbed.
