Well, I was one of the people who arrived at Hampton Court yesterday
lunchtime and got booted out at 3pm. Pretty expensive 2 hours we
thought. However there is good news. If anyone else was there and is
grumbling, the RHS has said on its website:


"Closure of Hampton Court Palace Flower Show due to severe weather

Wednesday 7th July 2004 ONLY

Due to increasing wind speed and a high risk of heavy rain it became
necessary to close Hampton Court at 3 pm on on 7 July.
1) Customers with unused tickets can be advised that the can use these
on any other day of the show on a like by like basis (Eg. 3pm
Wednesday can be used at 3pm on any other day of the Show). If they
can't make another day they are to write in for a refund enclosing
their unused tickets.

2) Customers who have used their tickets and wish to re-visit are
being told that they will need to buy tickets for their re-visit and
then write in requesting a refund including proof of purchase (ticket
stubs etc) for both sets of tickets (Refunds will only be considered
in exceptional circumstances).

The address to write to for both options is The RHS, PO Box 38529,
London, SW1P 2WZ.

3) Customers who request a refund for Parking are being asked to
follow the same procedure."

I think I shall try again on Saturday!
