ya it shouldnt be to bad id say id say they have it well set up over there:rolleyes:

I would be interested in any reports back from the weekend. Wasn't that impressed with the few years in Ballinlough but maybe this will be a step up. The weather ruined Shanes Castle this year (I had a Trade stand there) so opted to do Birr again. It was very good last year.

homerhop

ground is fairly good, as long as it isnt a buggy with them tiny wheels you will be grand.

slippy wicket

This still going ahead? Plenty of heavy rain on the other side of the blackstairs.
Hope it is as its nice to have something on fairly close for a change.

snipe02

just back from it there and if your going tomorrow you will need wellies... boots wont do with the amount of mud i seen today and i can only imagine it getting worse. good turn out today and a good few stands on display.

homerhop

Talk about rain this morning, thought it would never stop. People came in waves so to speak and despite all the mud seemed to be people on the go all day. Had great fun with kids coming and going all day.

snipe02

really enjoyed in in spite of the rain the kids loved the mess

dev110

Anybody try the clays?

Am tempted to bring the shotty tomorrow and dust off the cobwebs.

fiestaman

Yea bring wellies, i seen people with shoes,knocked off by. I got a few bits, got 3 slip leads for E10 down beside carlow regional game tent, lad has white beard nice few bits there. Not much fishing stuff though. I parked on the street jus opposite the entrance off the street. Alot handier than parking in that field, no thanks. All n all a good day had for E15.

Just seen them there brillent quility !

Weather is great today for anyone close by!

AL 555

Picture from the parking area as I was leaving very heavy rainfall for 10/15 minutes just before 5pm, I'd say a fair few cars got stuck... Had a good afternoon down there.

dev110

Had a good day down there. It was a roaster and having to carry a jacket while waiting for the rain that never came was a killer.

I enjoyed the clays. Was a nice layout but was deceiving. Got 37/50 which I was happy with after not using the shotgun in months.
