Games 2010 - CANCELLED DUE TO BAD WEATHER
It
was with great reluctance that this year's games that was to be held at the
Attadale Estate on Saturday the 17th of July was cancelled. The
decision was taken on Friday morning at 10 o'clock. The games field had been thoroughly saturated with rain, and the weather forecast was not good, with more rains promised.
We have held the games in damp conditions in previous years but this year the very poor state of the ground would not have supported the expected attendance. The nightmare of having to extract cars heavily bogged down in the field was not to be contemplated and the very real threat of injury to the competitors and visitors had to be considered.
It would have been highly irresponsible of the committee to have proceeded with the games under these conditions and the earlier the decision to cancel was made the better. This was done so that the exhibitors and competitors could be notified and that the cancellation could be broadcast to the wider community as soon as possible.
It is the objective of the Games committee to give the visitors and competitors to the games a safe and pleasant experience, this was an impossible to guarantee due to the state of the field and the continued prospect of bad weather for Saturday.
We also wish to take this opportunity to gratefully thank all the helpers who gave us their time and effort in preparing the field for the games, and hope they do not feel that their endeavours were wasted. This year we had the most volunteers ever and we trust we can call on their help again next year. Thank you.
