NGOC 2025 League 2 – Soudley – now postponed to October

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.
