Dear Winter Handicappers, First let me apologize for the cancelling and re-scheduling of the last two events. Both have been caused by adverse weather warnings, the first from the Met Office. NOTAN are mindful of the dedication of athletes and volunteers and in days gone by, we have always operated our events in all weather conditions. However, in 2018/9 several volunteers were told that participants would "sue if anything happened", we've taken the decision to be more cautious and mitigate against the "there is no such things as an accident so it must be someone else's fault" culture that is taking a grip of our sport in recent years. Secondly, let me clarify the comments I made at the December event regarding the Fairbairn Cup and Kings Street Trophy. These events will be incorporated into the April edition of the Winter Handicap. All Poly persons currently taking part in the Winter Handicap are entered free of charge, those wishing to compete who are not part of the Winter Handicap need to pay the £2.00 entry fee. Therefore, the remaining schedule of the Winter Handicap series is as follows: 25th February 2020 - short course 10th March 2020 - short course 7th April 2020 - long course (from St Mary's Lighthouse) followed by prize and presentation at Cullercoats Crescent Club. Winter GP4 - 12th December
