All,

Hopefully you will have read and received Adam's Email by now. If not - TOUR
1 IS NOT HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND - It has been postponed until the weekend of
the 21st and 22nd April.

I appreciate that this will affect peoples ability to make it. For that we
apologise, the restrictions imposed by MAFF due to Foot and Mouth are
something that we have absolutely no control over, and you will all
appreciate that we MUST work within them.

If you as a team are unable to make this new weekend then contact Adam.
However if you were not coming this weekend but can make the new date, again
speak to Adam as he will probably be able to accommodate you.

I feel that it is important that everyone appreciates the efforts that Adam
and Matt have gone to in an attempt to make sure that people get the event
with the facilities that they deserve for their money. I have spoken to Adam
repeatedly this week, and have been involved in all the major decisions. I
agree completely with their decision to postpone. I also agree with his
decision to go ahead and try to hold it in two weeks time - the F&M
restrictions will still be in place, but other factors at the venue will
have altered by then which will make it possible to go ahead.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Adam and Matt for their
ongoing efforts. Can we please make sure that we support them, and can I
assure people that the event will be going ahead in two weeks - only if we
are able to work safely, sensibly and responsibly within the MAFF
guidelines. This may take some more effort on your behalf, but can I please
stress the importance of EVERYONE sticking to regulations, and not trying to
be clever and working around them. It does not matter if you come from an
already infected area (so I'm not taking the disease back) or if you come
from the middle of London (No farms near me!). The rules are not there for
your benefit, but everyone else's - have consideration.

Chris

DoC
