Hi All
In case you were wondering with all the wet weather we have been having on top of all that snow ........
We will still be fine for camping and boat parking/rigging on the fields at Marconi.
However, we may need to keep cars off the grass to prevent things being too churned up. If that is the case, we have plenty of hard standing on site for cars to park including for those sleeping in their cars overnight. It just won't be directly alongside your boat/trailer.
We will make a call at the weekend when hopefully the warm winds forecast for later this week will have taken effect!
See you on Saturday!
Jenny

Both the wind and general weather forecast are shaping up nicely for the TT at Marconi this weekend. Perfect conditions to kick off a summer of 40th anniversary racing. Look forward to seeing you all there.

The photo of all the new 15s lined up in numerical order on the beach is such a great advert for the strength of the class,as it celebrates its 40th year. Not sure who took the photo, but it was an inspired idea.

I made a video of the last race. Unfortunately the camera facing away from me was steamed up so if you don't want to look at me for 5 minutes don't click this link:
