I'm sorry to say that I've just been told the event has been postponed until later in the year.
Such a shame, as we'd worked flat out to get Excelsior finished in time

Steve , I know it was raining there, but now the sun;s burning my eyes out! A bit premature I would say though I know its not your decision, see what its like at the end of the week.

Steve, I am sorry to hear your news about the postponment of your rally. However, thanks for letting everyone know in good time. I have just had a look at the weather forecasts for next weekend as I was thinking of going to tavistock in the morning and driving ver to South Molton at lunch time. The advance forecast is not good and you do not want a repeat of the Devon County Show this weekend which was cancelled on the Saturday due to the apalling ground conditions following heavy rain.

Now got the email, At least its been postponed & not cancelled.

We may get a bit of a run on Friday Steve!

Thanks Thomas. They've chosen a new date later in the year. I've not had chance yet to see if it clashes with anything else, I hope not at any rate! But the date was chosen without the chance for discussion.
