Potentially there may have been washouts in 1882, 83, 88, 90, 95,

Monday.

The first Wednesday in 2004 was washed out (23 June).


ISTR that the first Monday was washed out circa 1971.


I think that may have been 1965 if that's circa enough. I
need to confirm on the Times Digital Archive though.


It definitely wasn't 1965 that I was thinking of, though it might well
have been washed out that year as well.
