It is with great regret that the camp council must announce this news.
The decision was made today, Monday 16th July after a site visit and upon the advice of the farmer who knows the field better than anyone. He told us we would not be able to hold the camp this year.
The field had been flooded a while ago but had drained enough so that at the site visit last Friday we were all confident we could go ahead. Today, after one night of heavy rain, the field is unable to absorb any more water and is again flooded.
Even if the water drained off the field, it is now so soaked that it will flood immediately upon at a mild spell of rain.The ground is now so soft that the heavy equipment, delivery trucks, even caravans will sink into the ground. More rain is forecast.
We are so sorry.
Please refer back to this site where we will post updates as we have them.

Refunds. We will want to be able to refund as much as we are able but have no details yet as we do not yet know the cost of equipment and tent hire cancellation. We will post news here as soon as we have it.
