28/7/2013 British Youth Championship

There doesn't seem to be any mention of this meeting that I understand is scheduled for Scunthorpe tomorrow, is it still on. I've looked at the Scunthorpe website, but find any detailed news on there about the event. If it is on, does anybody have the line-up, and more importantly as I intend travelling to it, is the local weather forecast favourable? Thanks in anticipation of any official news that might be announced.

I am friends with Dan and Joe Thompson who are competing in the 125cc section and they say haven't been told that it's off. They too presume that it's still on. The weather forecast for Scunny tomorrow is cloudy with light drizzle from 1pm-8pm then turning sunny at 9pm. Good luck to all involved, but especially Dan and Joe!

Okay thanks. The weather doesn't look to bad here in Norfolk. so think I may take a chance and undertake the journey. The wife likes to visit Brigg Garden Centre anyway, but it's a long way just for that!! Fingers crossed all will be okay.

Mimmo, no problem, Richard's report is now the top story on the Scunny website.

 

Lots of long journies recently and things to do, so couldn't make it up yesterday, but looking forward to seeing the Northside round on August 11th, before the Workington v Scunny match on the same evening.

 

All the best
