> Greetings,
>
> A short time ago, I spoke with Sir Kief and he along with a consensus of
> the officers of the Barony, the B&B and staff of the event and with MUCH
> regret and agonizing over whether or not to hold the event, have made the
> decision to CANCEL North Sea Raids for this weekend due to weather and
site
> related issues.
>
> The National Weather Service is calling for temps very cold on Friday and
> Friday evening with rain, possible sleet or snow. Combined with wind chill
> of in the 20's, that is pretty miserable.
>
> For Saturday, it does not get much better. The chance of rain drops, but
> there is still the chance of snow or sleet and the temp in the day goes to
> the 40s, but still near freezing at night.
>
> Combine all this with the inches or more rain we have received over the
> past several days that has made the site very wet and muddy and it makes
> for a cold, muddy, wet mud feast with the tearing up of the site due to
> cars, people and usage due to rain soaked grounds and mud.

> SOOOOOOOOOOOO...........

> NORTH SEA RAIDS IS CANCELED !!!!
