Looking too bad. It's drizzling down here at the moment, and we had some rain. On my way home from work between 02:30 and 03:10 hrs, there were parts of the road between Enfield and Edenderry partially flooded. Lots of wet spots around Daingean. Didn't stop raining during my journey at all.

What do the TAS guys think? Too wet for the site? It'll be hard to do much with the grass being as long as it is and therefore very wet.

Too wet I think. Raining here all morning. Real pity. :cry:

As a member of TAS (and travelling all the way from Carlow) I leaning towards giving it a miss and hoping for clear(er) skies on Sunday night.

I would still like to attend if it goes ahead. I'll give you a ring/text later this evening Seanie to see what the plan is. Alternatively, if there is a final decision to cancel, please let me know.
Thanks,
