CANCELLED Golden Gates, Chatsworth Estate (Easter Rally)

CHATSWORTH - EASTER RALLY RALLY CANCELLED.

Sadly, due to a field visit today to assess the ground conditions the Committee have had to make the difficult decision to cancel our Easter Rally at Chatsworth. This has not been an easy decision, but we have made it early enough to give people chance of changing their plans for Easter.

The ground today is absolutely saturated with water coming up when standing on foot and some places under water. We are cautious that if we were to go ahead it would only end up being a mud bath and having units stuck. We also don’t want to risk damaging the ground that could potentially lead us being in a position that we could not be welcome back at Chatsworth in the future.

We appreciate that this news is not great, but we hope you understand the committee’s decision.

The treasurer will start to make refunds to those already paid their invoices.

Apologies again.

The Derbyshire Centre Committee.
