Auchinleck Talbot Spring Programme Fair suspended

[Auchinleckian]

Due to a huge dropped bollock by yours truly, have had to suspend the Fair on Sunday, April 12th as one of the Junior Cup semi finals is being played that Sunday, and with Talbot in the quarter finals I simply can't afford to do anything else. If we get drawn out of the hat to play on the Sunday the club will be used as usual for ore and post match entertainment.

Profuse apologies to anyone who had pencilled the date in, but we are looking to try and move it to a date nearby. Have got advertising in PM to alter, loads of fans forums, matchday programmes etc. An absolute nightmare.

Eck, to save time, I'll pm you later today mate.

UPDATE POSITION

Been doing lots of emails and phone calls this morning, stressed out ma box!

Have been given some leeway by Paul at PM who has advised that they don't go to print until March 17th. We play Shettleston in the quarter finals on March 14th. If, and it's a big if, all four quarter finals are settled on the day there's no reason at all - apart from their well known stubbornness - that the Scottish Junior FA can't agree semi final fixtures on Tuesday 16th, and we know for definite (if we beat Shettleston) when we play.

We could of course, go out in the quarter finals, and the Fair will just go ahead as planned if we do.

I agree with Paul's view that it wouldn't be right to instil a degree of uncertainty into the date, as I had also mentioned the possibility of PM going to press with a notice saying the fair was now provisional dependent on Talbot's result, and possible semi final date.

So, if we get knocked out the fair will definitely go ahead. If we get through to the semi finals and know for definite that we are not playing on Sunday, by March 16th, the fair will go ahead. If we get through and don't know for definite come March 16th when we play the fair is definitely cancelled.

Remember the old American sitcom "soap2 where someone always said at the end "Confused, you ought to be" that's me!
