It is with much regret that David and Trish Reeves wish to announce that the Dergholm ride is cancelled due to the ground conditions.
The grounds committee have conducted an inspection this morning and have determined that vehicular access is not possible at this point. They feel that there is insufficient time for the grounds to dry out before competitors start arriving.
Could all riders who have nominated please access AERA Online and cancel your nomination to allow refunds to be generated? This should be completed by 5 pm FRIDAY 28 OCTOBER.
