Hi there, it comes as a great shame, but after a meeting on site this morning, we have assessed the state of the public car park, and we have deemed it unsafe and unusable for the event.
We have spent the whole week tirelessly working towards putting this event on but the sheer amount of rainfall we have had these last 2 days has meant that our galiant efforts have gone to waste.
As I'm sure you are in agreement, public safety is paramount, and we cannot afford to have an event like this go ahead with a waterlogged and muddy car park, for the risk of danger to the public, and damage to attendees vehicles is high.
Therefore, we have taken the heavy decision to cancel this event this year, with immediate effect. We have never had to make such a difficult decision, especially on such a fine autumn day, and have never cancelled this event in over 45 years.
We thank you all for your support

Many thanks.
