It’s always a shame when it rains on the day of an event but with proper preparation rain won’t stop play and enjoyment. There is a deadly triad that will ruin any experience; wet, cold and hunger. Ideally all should be avoided but, in my experience, people will tolerate one of them. If they are feeling two of them they will complain and if it’s all three they will probably go home or to a place where they can feel better.
With proper clothing (warn people in advance if the forecast looks iffy), umbrellas and regular pubs on the route the event will not be ruined by a bit of rain. Often it adds experiences for the teams. Who doesn’t enjoy dancing with an umbrella and if you can do it as a chorus line all the better!
