*UPDATE*
RALPH'S CIDER Open Weekend Plus Hereford & Peterstow *** Trip originally booked for 9th October 2021 Although marked here as 'Covid Related' ... it is not intended to suggest that Ralph's Cider & Perry event is affected in any way ! |
|
The Cider trip was called off, (last 2 years), not because of Covid at the actual farm, but us lot travelling in the confined space of the minibus for hours on end. Had we sat every other seat as recommended, the hire cost would have *doubled per person* owing to half not being able to go because of the seating arrangements. Hiring a much larger bus / coach was out of the question cost wise !
This year, (2022 Oct), we will be hoping to head back up there, but only if ...
1) The event is taking place
2) Covid restrictions lifted
3) Enough people still interested
4) The price of fuel hasn't spiralled out of control ???
Below are the original names of people that booked in 2021. This list still stands. The people will be contacted in order as they appear below. Although some of you are on the 'Reserves' list, expect a lot of the main list to drop out.

Basically, both Mike Peart, (R.A.T.S. Chairman & Mini-bus organiser), and myself, (Sec-RAT- ary & Trip organiser), think it unwise to go ahead with the above trip in the current situation. Having said that, we have now both dropped out and suggest a cancellation until October 2022 (?)
This doesn't mean that the 2021 event itself has been cancelled, but we are thinking 'Better Safe than Sorry' !
If you still intend going, might I suggest it's best to contact Ralph's and any pubs you intend to visit, first, to make sure it's not a wasted journey, and to inform them of the day / date / time / numbers etc.
