[alocky (Andrew lockwood)]

Nope - cleared up around 8pm, and there was always some clear sky to point at for the rest of the night. Most of the public seemed to really enjoy it.
Cheers,
Andrew.

Apart from the cloud which cleared later, it was a great night looks like we had around 3,500 people through.
