Dear Ruaira Browne,
Re Kilbroney 2000 Old Vehicle Rally Saturday 6th September.
Possibly you will have heard in The News of the flooding in the village of Rostrevor and neighbouring Warrenpoint last week and severe flooding there over the week-end.
We had a site meeting in the Park last Wednesday and another this afternoon and at this the Council who are the Park owners and overall organisers of Kilbroney 2000 have reluctantly had to decide to CANCEL the event this year.
With having 998 entries so far this is a huge disappointment to all concerned.
We have looked at alternative venues or another date but these are not viable options. We now have the mammoth task of notifying every entrant and trader that there will be no Kilbroney Event this year.
You can view the list of all 998 entrants from http://www.aovc.co.uk/KilbroneyProgram2008.pdf
It would be very much appreciated if you could notify any friends, neighbours or fellow Club Members who are listed on this or had intended going and let them know the event has been cancelled.
We are aware that while around half of the entrants have given an email address possibly some do not check their emails regularly or some may have changed their email address and therefore not receive this email notification.
Apologies if you have received more than the one copy of this email. We feel it is better to receive two copies rather than none at all.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
