Hello,

I am sorry to bring the message that our Reunion event (4/5^th Nov on the Monmouthshire Canal) has had to be cancelled.

The complete story is a little complex but it comes down to the age old story of permissions.

And in particular the mandatory surveys & preparation that are needed in order to gain these permissions.

The board had a couple of options to consider but concluded they would both leave the problem of a risk of the event being cancelled even later in the day but also put reputations at risk: both WRGs and the Monmouthshire Brecon & Abergavenny Canals Trust with all their partners.

As such the WRG Board have taken the difficult decision to cancel the event.

We did consider if there were any possible alternative projects/sites but in reality there is nothing that could take us at this short notice.
