No. We postulated various substitute dates over the September/October period and we haven't found one that's both free of other events and that all the helpers and suppliers can manage. We have a committee meeting next Monday which I believe will formally cancel the 2023 Flyer and discuss what we will do for next year (do we do one in the Spring and one in Autumn? Just one? On which date? Do we have a formal reserve date (or time on the same day) in future?). I'm not involved in the financial side, but I believe those that are are sorting out the refunds now.
We cancelled on the day because a number of local churches on our route promulgated QE2 remembrance services which neatly coincided with the time the ride would be passing them. Of course, several of our members are also members of those congregations and residents of those villages. We decided that our long-term relations with our neighbouring villages were more important than the ride, and so we cancelled. It's a great shame, but there we are.
