The National - Important update

As some of you have already heard today The Club has announced that this year’s National at Eastnor Castle has been cancelled due to the heavy rainfall we have been experiencing over the last few weeks, which has resulted in the site being waterlogged. The essential infrastructure for the event was due to start this week, but it is virtually impossible for vehicles to move around on site, let alone the heavy commercial vehicles needed to deliver marquees and generators.

This has come as a huge disappointment to all of us at The Club. I know the events team personally and I have been so impressed with all the hard work, effort and dedication they have put into The National. As you can imagine they are so disappointed (as are we all) at the news that we could no longer proceed with The National, but unfortunately this decision was unavoidable.

Ro and the web team will be posting up detailed information on Monday morning on the website about refunds for The National as well as some advice on other alternatives for places to stay as well as contacting all members directly. I know already today we have heard from a number of centres informing us of space on their rallies over the Jubilee weekend so once we have this information together we will share it.

Can we ask at this time you do not call or email The Club as the team will be extremely busy contacting members and processing the cancellations. The website will give you as much information as we can and we will be in touch with everyone who has made  booking.

May I just thank you all for your support during this difficult time. I am heartened to see you already helping one another with some great alternatives, one of the great benefits of a community like Club Together. Keep those ideas coming in.
