I have just recieved this message. I have booked the van for the following weekend. Please get in touch with me if you cannot make it. Otherwise I will assume that everyone can still come.
LACTIC TURKEY ROGAINE AT PEAK ROAD POSTPONED

Sorry but we have just found out (when I arrived this morning to mark the course) that we will have to postpone the Lactic Turkey Rogaine to next Sunday (2 October) due to a wounded wild bull running around the farm.  Sounds like a good fib but it's for real sorry!

The farmer has been trying to destroy this feral bull but as of this morning still couldn’t find it. Because the bull is now wounded it is unpredictable so the risk of this bull charging someone is too great and the farmer has asked we postpone the event until next Sunday. 

Lactic Turkey do not charge like wounded bulls and the last thing we want is for a wounded bull to charge you! (drums...da dommmm!)
