25th June 2015  We are well within the 30-day weather forecast window now, and, although it’s just a forecast, here’s what it is currently looking like for the Prescott weekend – could not be better!  Not too hot and clear skies for the Hurricane.  My sun dance seems to be working!

Important update on ticketing.  Ticket packs, Final Instructions, etc. for everyone who has already pre-booked will be enveloped and shipped tomorrow from Seattle to Colin Lee in the UK for onward posting.  However, it is NOT too late to enter and late early bookings (if you see what I mean!) can be accepted right up to mid-July.  This is important because if you pre-book you receive an extra free climb worth five pounds.  Also, if you pre-book, your name and car details will be among those posted on the wall of the start line hut in the Official Entry List.  But if you cannot pre-book, then you will be more than welcome to turn up on the day and pay at the gate.  We hope to have a FEW climbs left to offer on the day.  And if you need tickets for the evening Battle of Britain Victory Party, I will also have a few of these with me on the day.

In other news, plans are developing very nicely for the Saturday evening Victory Party.  The Clubhouse will be taking on a Battle of Britain look and feel for the evening and we are delighted to announce that the Mike Dowley Jazz Band will be accompanied this year once again by Sheila Fawkes, lead singer of the world famous Eureka Jazz Band!

The first draft of the marshaling plan for Saturday was distributed last night – thanks to all who responded with confirmation overnight!  We have had so many offers to marshal this year that we have been able to reduce the gate marshal time slots from two hours to one hour.

As for Sunday, we have had lots of very good news regarding venues for the day this week and have adapted the route accordingly.  It’s top secret, of course, but the route this year is looking very good indeed. And we’re VERY excited about the awards this year – enough said!
