[mill (Martin)]

All i can say is:Only 5 days to go!!Whoohooo!!
Weather will be fine and if the weather isn't fine we have to throw Ken in the lake

[Dave47tuc (David)]

Funny Martin
But I think Kens boys may have the last laugh on that

Not very often in November we get two weekends in a row of bad weather
Whatever will be will be
We will just have a great time what ever the weather.

[Astroman (Andrew Wall)]

We will just have a great time what ever the weather

I second that.

Still throwing Ken in the lake could fill in some time on a cloudy night.

We agree with Dave and Andrew 100%

We'll be there whatever the forecast. It's a great weekend to catch up with everyone.

We use this site for our home weather and it's generally pretty spot on

I'd better throw AccuWeather in the lake

But it's got better now - also predicting a great weekend - just a little cloud at times. It even says Friday should be "delightful", which it will be and not just because of the weather.

A pity, cause it's a nice simple add-in to Firefox.

I am coming on Friday and Saturday but have accommodation in Ballarat town. I am coming for the Saturday dinner if that is still on.
