Received this via e-mail today. Need to get the message out to as many people as possible as this is a Natinal event & last year attracted 10,000 people & 4,000 dogs. :shock:
I am sorry to have to break the news that Guide Dogs’ Gala Day at Moreton Morrell (Warwickshire College), planned for Saturday, 07 July, has had to be cancelled because of the effects of bad weather.
Recent rainfall – with the risk of further downpours – has left the ground waterlogged.
Resulting concerns for people’s safety in these wet, slippery conditions – and with a real risk of cars becoming stuck in mud – has left us with no choice but to cancel the event.
Guide Dogs is as disappointed as its friends and supporters, who were looking forward to the event, but it must put safety first, which is why the decision to cancel has reluctantly been taken.
I would be really grateful if you could pass on this message to anyone you know who was planning to attend Gala Day.
