RENAISSANCE EVENT 27TH/28TH MARCH CANCELLED

It is with great regret that we have to inform you that Renaissance event on 27th and 28th March has had to be cancelled. Due to the current and expected Scottish Government restrictions for March regards Covid 19 on travel it is not possible for us to continue with this event. We have re-arranged this event twice already but with coming into a new year we can no longer proceed with it. I will organise a refund of monies for you all over the coming week. This is not the news we were hoping to send out to you but unfortunately there is very little we can do on this. Hopefully we will see you all in our events over the rest of the season and for the boys and girls who are now to old we wish you well in participating in adult events over 2021 and showing the older guys and girls how good you are. If you have any queries please let me know.
