The Ocknell event on Sunday 16th Feb has had to be postponed.
The Officials state "Unfortunately, on safety grounds, we have reluctantly had to take the decision to postpone the event to another day. Our planner, an experienced weather forecaster, states that the ‘current forecast is heavy rain and 60mph gusts on Sunday morning ‘ and that all available forecasts, from the Met Office, BBC and the European weather services are agreed on this. Heavy rain is expected for the 24 hours before hand on land which is still saturated from the storms last weekend, meaning most of the major streams on the area will probably be uncrossable by Sunday as well. There are streams to cross on all the courses.
Decisions on when/if we can rearrange the event, and refunds etc will be taken at a later date, but we felt we needed to make and publish the decision to cancel promptly rather than leaving things until the last minute.

Re: WIM - Cancelled event
The problem is re-arranging it.
With access to the N Forest for orienteering not possible March-August and the fixture list now getting increasingly crowded during the rest of the year, our next available 'slot' for this level of event is 17 Jan 2021.
So its going to be money back and start again in 2021, I think.
More details later this week.

Let's troll the O-net again. Orienteers are too nice! There's no need to do refunds!
