Happy New Year to everyone!
Hopefully it will still be a Happy New Year on Wednesday as well, but with the current forecast looking somewhat grim, it might just be a slightly less happy start to 2025.
We are planning on going ahead. However, Forestry England have advised us that they will make a decision at 14:00 tomorrow – Tuesday 31 December – as to whether to open the picnic site as normal on Wednesday, delay the opening but let us go ahead later in the day, or keep the site closed all day on Wednesday.
We will provide an update here on the website no later than 15:00 tomorrow as to what we are allowed to do, and we will send a bulk email from Fabian at the same time, so watch out for these updates.
For those of you needing to cross the Severn to get to Wenchford, bear in mind that the M48 bridge is likely to be closed on Wednesday, which will mean a 20 minute longer journey time to get to the event.
