Oh well, better luck next time!

At least we all got to meet up again- what a pity the cloud wouldn't let us see much. Still, it was really fun meeting up with the team and their parents, so keep checking in here for a repeat evening in october some time. I'll try to keep posting things to this blog in the meantime...

The final decision...

Well, I'm prepared to turn up if you are. It's not looking clear yet, but it still isn't terrible. I'll open the Portland Street gates (off Gillygate) at 9.50pm, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all then!

Still looking good!

I am still seeing a report for clear skies in York tonight, so I am going to go ahead as planned for now. If possible, check this blog again at 9pm for a final, final decision!
