keepturningleft Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 There was a grim inevitability about all this. A soon as the March 12 date was announced, the first thing that flashed into my mind was, it's way too early in the year and bad weather is almost a foregone conclusion.

Sorry Krissie!!! xxxxx <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OI! I agree f4e it is easier to go by the nearest city/town/well known village etc especially when texting as you are usually limited to how many words/letters you are allowed in one text message. I dont know about rabbit but I'm not made of money or unlimited texts....lol I'll go and get back in bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I'll go and get back in bed <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh er - with anyone in particular!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Got back about half an hour ago - from a nice scenic tour of Hampshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire. A big, big thank you to both Krissie for the text and then F4E for the phone call - it was much appreciated. The only bit of Oxford I know is Cowley so they're one and the same to me - if you get there, you're in Oxford! Between the 4 of us in the car it sounded like a call centre with all the calls and texts coming in and going out. What did we ever do in the days before the internet and mobiles? As for you Orion...just you wait matey! Think that makes us 1-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobC Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Thanks to one and all for texts and phone calls. Like Rabbit said,it was manic in the car for a few moments with texts and calls in all directions. Whatever Ian Thomas may think about this forum,it works for the people who want it....US THE SUPPORTERS. Once again,thanks for everyones help in saving our time and money. See you all again next week!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Between the 4 of us in the car it sounded like a call centre with all the calls and texts coming in and going out. What did we ever do in the days before the internet and mobiles? stop at ever service station or telephone box seen and ring the hotline. Thinking back, it would have been cheaper to just drive all the way there and find out it's off than ring the hotline! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerblade Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Damn I am away next Sunday, but I'm not changing my plans now. Knowing my luck I would drive back and it would be rained off again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liontamer Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Thanks to Krissie for ringing me when I was at Chesterfield to tell me it was off. Oh well, see you all next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Grand Prix stars Jason Crump and Scott Nicholls have already confirmed their availability for the re-staging, where it is hoped that the line-up will be largely unchanged. http://www.crash.net/news_view~t~Snow-forc...9~id~126533.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 News: 12/03/06 Bloody weather! I’ve been at the stadium since 10:00 this morning, and I can’t quite believe how everything changed so quickly. Heavy snow has ruined everything, and I didn’t want to put on a sub-standard show on a difficult track. I’m absolutely gutted that we couldn’t go ahead today but with the weather forecast saying that the snow would continue, I wasn’t going to put the rider’s safety at risk. The good news is that I’ve already arranged the re-staging date – Sunday March 19 at 5:00 pm. So next Sunday, same time, same place. Jason Crump, Scott Nicholls, Steve Johnston, Joe Screen, Lewis Bridger, Gary Havelock, Dave Norris, Andre Compton, Simon Stead, Nicki Pedersen and Magnus Karlsson have all been confirmed for next Sunday, the only rider who is unable to ride from the field is James Wright who will be riding for his club. I’ll be on the telephone to Billy Hamill on Monday to see if he’ll be available to ride because I know how gutted he was to be unable to be there today. You never know – something good comes out of something bad. I’d really like to apologise to all the fans who were travelling from far and wide today to be at my 20 year celebration meeting, but we’re not going to give up, and next Sunday everything will be the same – the back straight will be open, the DVD will still be there and the line up will still be as strong, if not stronger. I’m a little bit bewildered at the moment, but I’ll battle through and will have the rest of the field by tomorrow night. Must go now, got a lot to do!
