We've got a drought but it won't stop raining ...

Since the drought was declared about 8 days ago, the rain has barely stopped. It won't drain out of the top surface of the fields and we risk turning both of them into quagmires if we hold the Donkey Derby on Monday.

The event has therefore been put back until August - Sunday 27th and with luck we will have better luck with the weather. The next few days involve a lot of ringing around to check that everyone knows that the event has been put back.
