WITH the weather forecasts for the coming weekend suggesting fairly low overnight temperatures, a stromg possibility of snow and high winds, a number of clubs and orgsnisers have pulled the plug on events sheduled for this Saturday and Sunday, January 19 and 20.
First to hit the buffers was a RideoffroadUK Winter Warmer Play and Race Day which was cancelled on Wednesday due to freesing conditions forcast in the area where the event was to run.
Next to fall was WOR Events Race Experience Day (Jan 19) and a Forest Challenge Race (Jan 20).
On Wednesday of this week WOR announced that it was switching venues for both events from Llandrillo Forest in North Wales to Caverswall Sand Quarry, near Stoke-on-Trent as the new venue would be able to cope with low temperatures and snow.
There was also a change to the format. The Forest Challenge race was postponed and that Sunday's activities would be a one-hour playtime, a two-hour race and a further one-hour playtime.
However, on Thursday morning came news that both Saturday's RED and Sunday's activities have been cancelled.
Our suggestion is to check with the organisers before you set off to any event this weekend.

Cheadle Auto Club contacted TMX on Thursday to say that its Open Trial planned for Sunday (Jan 20) at Tittesworth Farm, Blackshaw Moor, near Leek, Staffordshire, has been cancelled due to the current frozen state of the ground and the forecast of further snow in the Leek area over the next few days.
The club feels that it would be both impracticable and unsafe to proceed with the trial.
