Due to the recent weather Bill had 2 choices, postpone or cancel.

I know a lot of people cannot just change work/holidays etc. at short notice, but it really is the only way.

There is only one entrance to the site and later in the year we could have more weather problems, so a weeks postponement will give us a rally.

I speak as one who was due to leave midmorning today (Wednesday), and it has wrecked SWMBO's (next) week's plans.
We will be there.

Can't imagine you obeying anyone Tony!!!

All credit to Bill. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. A lot of people were going to be be really fed up whatever he did. Could have cancelled it, could have gone ahead and it be a total washout. Could have gone ahead, been a washout and churned the ground up so we wouldn't be welcome again.

Let's hope the weather gives us a break and we can get out for the first show since 2019

Default Weald of Kent postponed

My commiserations to the organisers, not a nice position to be in.

As of 12.30 (4th August), the website has yet to be updated.

I'm not the only one who refuses to use FB. If any members of the forum are in touch with the organisers, I suggest they contact them to get it updates asap.

Fortunately I was able to get my hotel reservation changed albeit at a price.
