SUMMARY:The Saddleworth Rushcart Ring Meeting - Cancelled
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210821
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210823
DESCRIPTION:After evaluating the situation\, it is with regret that we must
  cancel this year's Rushcart. \n\n
  We are obviously devastated that this is the case for the
  second year running\, but the pandemic has brought considerable
  levels of uncertainty to the event. \n\n
  A respectable number of sides confirmed attendance but the size
  of many were lower than usual. The last thing we want is the
  potential to arrive on Rushcart Saturday morning to find a Cart
  there which can't be pulled. It would be unfair to those sides
  that have confirmed\, the local community and our Jockey.\n\n
  We also wholeheartedly understand the reasons many couldn't
  come - whether that be concerns around a lack of practice or
  the pandemic in general. I think many of those that were
  willing to dance out will have still had the former somewhere
  in their minds! \n\n
  It was always going to be a stretch to organise something this
  year but we had to try. I really appreciate all your help in
  coordinating this on your end too - it is difficult most of the
  time\, never mind during a pandemic. \n\n
  Saddleworth Morris Men are still likely to do something locally
  in some form or other but we haven't got to the point of a
  decision on this as yet. It could just be ourselves dancing at
  one pub for example\, or whether we are able to put some dance
  spots on as we appreciate some sides may still visit to spend
  time away. I'll need to speak to the Council too.\n\n
  I will be in touch in September regarding next year's Cart
  irregardless as we have everything crossed for then.\n\n
  Best wishes\,\n\n
  Jack\n\n
  Rushcart Secretary
