They also cancelled a huge Family Fun Day event (at the eleventh hour) for the same location a few months ago, where months of voluntary preparation went down the pan.

The number of cars with only one person in them leaving on the last two Saturday mornings easily outnumbered those carrying passengers. <br /><br />Most runners attending on Saturday mornings must know at least one other runner by now.
