There were several weather warnings today and this morning the BBC forecast all day heavy rain therefore I decided to cancel all three Car Boot Sales; TRURO, it was tipping it down with heavy blustering rain all morning and we would probably have had half a dozen determined sellers ‘that does not maketh a boot sale’ PENRYN, a similar story with all afternoon rain up to 3.00pm forecast by BBC.
It is getting closer to the Rugby season and the club would not appreciate my running a boot sale with a great possibility of cars churning up their grounds or worse still the pitches. LANHYDROCK grounds often hold the rain making it difficult to drive on soaking grass hence the decision to cancel.
Inspections were held at Penryn & Lanhydrock during the early morning when the decision was made to cancel, in TRURO the grounds would have been very busy from yesterday’s auction with farmers collecting farm machinery and plant with heavy tractors and machinery during today collecting items sold and won. There was heavy rain all morning so all in all I made the right decision!
Over 500 people clicked onto our website for the latest information and over 80 enquiries gleaned the information by phone. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused but on this occasion I listened to the BBC and made my decision from there.
