Title: Black Bear Rally Rescheduled
Post by RyanHuber on 06/15/5 at 21:17:41

BLACK BEAR RALLY RESCHEDULED
                             
                       
                                                                                     June 15, 2005

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Maple Leaf Rally Club and the Black Bear Rally organizing committee,  the Black Bear Rally will not be able to be held this Saturday (June 18th).

Torrential rains and high winds have ravaged the Dorset area for four days, creating a state of emergency.  A call from Ministry of Natural Resources officials today advised that the roads have suffered great damage, especially in the last 24 hours.  A site inspection this afternoon  confirmed that not one of the stage roads is passable even for a four wheel drive truck.  Culverts have been totally washed out, hills are left with two foot deep ruts and many trees have fallen across the roads.  Even ATV’s were having difficulty rescuing stranded cottage residents. In places the water is almost two feet deep – and it still had not yet stopped raining.

The Organizers regret any inconvenience this causes to all those involved.  The event has been tentatively rescheduled to Saturday, July 23rd, pending all necessary approvals.  Confirmation of that date will be issued as soon as possible.

We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us in July for a great event.

Downhill Right - DON'T CUT!!!

I was really looking forward to this weekend Ryan. Too bad! Hopefully you can keep all the entries on your reschedule.

Can you provide updates on the roads from time to time, Ryan? This will become more urgent in the ten days before July 22-23, as some places require at least seven days' notice of cancellation or you forfeit your (rally) money!!  :o
