Just had email from rally organiser saying it is cancelled due to roadworks closing access roads over the weekend of rally. Sunday 6 July.

In that case I will pop to Barford Radio Rally as there was a clash of dates and was not sure which one to go to.

Hopefully they'll rally around to organise another date.

It's cancelled rather than postponed, so presumably there won't be anything before this time next year. Indeed the message ends "We must sincerely apologise for the disappointment this will cause and look forward to seeing you at the Newbury Radio Rally in 2026."

That's a shame, I was looking forward to some more de-cluttering. Might go to the McMichael rally the following week, if I can work out a reasonable route to their new venue.

Sounds like you're having the same woes we are. I swear the Indiana State Flower is the orange barrel...
