| Ed, if you are coming could you bring one of your bombs? My next door neighbor uses those cartridges in his air gun. I allready have 3 emptys. |

| I don't have my truck that weekend, so IF I'm able to go, I'll be limited in armour... Plus the KV-1 is still broken |

| Please watch this thread closely.
The field will need a lot of prep., it has been very wet here.
Not so much that the ground is swampy, it is actually good in that regard, but it rains almost every day and the grass is too wet to cut most of the time; I have not been able to keep up with my own acre at home.
We will need some dry weather prior to the meet day to cut the hay.
I will be watching the forecasts.
I cannot do this Wed. but am available on Thursday. Even if I get it cut, there will need to be some raking/leaf blower work done on the Sat.
Sorry, this has been a record wet spring.
Stay tuned here.

| Nice picture on the 1st post, interesting camo on the Panther.
I would love to have a 98K in the condition shown in the foreground. _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

Sorry guys, I'll be in KW this Sat. Bud, I have some barrels and empty CO2 bomb mock-ups for you next time I see you. |

| Glen. I could possibly help out with the field Thursday afternoon after work. I have a push mower-bagger that I can toss in the back o the truck. I also could load my rider on my trailer if needed but that isn't a bagger. I am planning on attending on Saturday as well.

| Thanks
I was planning to be there on Thurs. after 6:00.
We will have to watch the weather forecast, it looks a bit "iffy" _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

| Unfortunately, I have to call this one off, the forecast I use for the area, which is normally quite reliable shows some instability in the weather; Friday
A slight chance of showers after 1pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 67. Southwest wind 6 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.Friday Night
A slight chance of showers, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 11pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 59. Southwest wind 8 to 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.Saturday
A chance of showers and thunderstorms before noon, then a slight chance of showers between noon and 1pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 71. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.The way things have been around here with the weather these days, we can get rain "brewing up" and I don't want to have people travel only to have them arrive and have it rain. Also, a number of our members cannot attend. So, I am recommending going with the rain date of June 24th, at the Kitchener Field.
