Apparently the Belgian A109 have cancelled :( probably why it only appeared on the official participation list for a short time
Posh are going to Wembley (albeit for a tin cup)

I unfortunately couldn't get this weekend off work to come and watch the show. I am going to pop down tomorrow, is there anything practicing tomorrow do we know? Looks like a stellar lineup.
