ANNOUNCEMENT FOR COOKARDINIA VINDURO
Unfortunately some bad news. I spoke with Murray yesterday and today and the decision has been made to CANCEL the event for 2016 due to the fact that the property is just to waterlogged and access is pretty
much nil. There will be NO vinduro 22nd October 2016.
As most of you have seen on the news much of NSW and Victoria are suffering massive flooding atm and whilst the rain has been long overdue for our farming communities, this kind of flooding has ruined thousands
of hectares of crops right as we approach harvest season.
We had hoped the property might have dried out over the past month, but with the continual rain it is actually got worse. Any attempt to access the property would destroy the lane way leading into the property.
Several of the paddocks that we were going to use are just to wet and cannot be used without causing irreputable damage.
On the flip side, we do have access to another property in the Holbrook area that we are considering using in 2017. It is approx 1000 acres with the possibility of running a proper 2 Day event and hard and easy
option loops. I hope to check out the property around christmas time and see what we can put together. At this stage we are thinking early to mid 2017 with Cooka also in Sept/Oct.
Once again I apologise for the inconvenience for those who have already made plans but we had to make the call now for those of you travelling great distances to the event. I will also send out an email to those
who have entered the event.
Regards
Brooksie.
