Thought so as saw two Morgans heading in opposite direction earlier from Pencoed direction on M4. Hopefully be rescheduled.

looking at the website its not being rescheduled which is a shame..

That's a shame - suspect that will be the death of this show. Can't imagine those businesses that would have still attended will have been impressed by the ridiculously late notice of cancellation. I suspect the organisers will be kicking themselves, as I live 20 minutes away and it's been brilliant sunshine here all day (and most of yesterday), if a bit windy! Not worth bothering with if that's how disorganised they are.

Yes not impressed that they cancel and event on the day. We went to the south east wales breakfast meet and were doing this after a trip round and over the beacons. When we got there a couple of old cars and empty fields with portaloos.

Organisers shouldn't cancel events like this unless overnight land is unusable. There were high winds but no real rain. Massive loss for the local economy, wasted fuel, damage to the environment for no reason!

We won't attempt to go again.

Cancellation only popped up on website at about 9am, shocking effort on the organisers part, they knew what the weather forcast was and as it turned out it wasn't that bad at all. I also will never attend one of their shows again.

I spoke to them yesterday, they were on site, the site became waterlogged overnight, a couple of inches of water covering the ground. I`ll be going if it`s rescheduled, after all it`s a good show.

I'm about 5 minutes away and although the wind was high and there was some rain, I'm not aware of excessive heavy rain overnight, . . and the pond wasn't overflowing this morning! The BBC weather forecast was fairly accurate.

I live about twenty minutes away and we had some heavy rain last night, got woken up at 4am by it. I did speak to one of the organiser's on Thursday and joked about him having enough tow ropes to pull vehicles out of the fields.
