Hi there.
Good old British weather aghhh! If one is going to a venue and is thundering and lightning, gusts of wind upto 60mph, rain pounding down, you get the picture :Laugh: How does 1 get their gear inside safely? I know virtually all disco gear is flightcased but how about speakers? Iv never seen flightcased speakers.

You can get protective covers for speakers, either made by the company or custom made by companies like Falcon Covers ( http://www.proaudiocovers.co.uk/ ). It also stops them getting scratched in the van.

I use protective covers for my speakers. You should try some of the Scottish weather....much worse than you southerners. :p

Thanks, I'll contact them. Just for price comparison sake, is there any other reputable companies that manufacture speaker covers?

Seconded :D :D
Unless they're active, a bit of rain won't do them any harm, especially if you carry them with the grills against you.
Bin liners can be useful things:rolleyes:

Just as good.....:D :D
But how many 5' bin liners have you got...... :D

You can get bin liners that fit wheelie bins. Take into account the overlap at the top for tying them & it's about 5'

O.K....point taken but the thread is 'Good Old British Weather'....which would imply.....more of the wet stuff than usual........
So would a bin liner rip to easy........therefore buying more = ££££....
A strong weather sheet and Velcro...maybe better....(D-class does 1/2 the job for you....:D).....IMO
Or go for my first option.........move quicker.....;)

No snow here in Oxfordshire as yet, though it's been seriously cold, down to -3 the other day, rather chilly :Laugh:
