This event was abandoned. Steph placed the signs and was ready to do timekeeping along with Dick. Robert showed up on his TT bike, and Graeme turned up but either had no bike or wasn't prepared to set it up! It was a pretty unpleasant evening with persistent rain and spray, but the nearby RTAs didn't seem to have affected traffic levels.
