IMPORTANT URGENT MESSAGE – Wallingford

Unfortunately I have just tested positive for Covid! Whilst Jackie is still clear it is not fair to expect her to steward on her own. As such there is no steward for the weekend and therefore the ‘DA meet’ must be cancelled! I have however spoken to the site owners and they are prepared to receive all of our members who have booked as ‘direct bookings’ at the same price. So you can all still go, just check in at the reception and pay them. It will not be a DA meet however.
Jackie will try and contact all those that have booked but if you see this message and were going please contact Jackie to save her the trouble.
Sorry that this has happened but as I have said before ’no stewards, no meets’.
