As ever, it is down to event organisers to choose whether they wish to go ahead with an event and down to individuals if they wish to travel to an event that is going ahead.

2012 start? Mere youngster in project age. Two of our Merlins went into the workshop in 2010 and 2006 respectively and still aren't at the front of the queue. And a Lark one went off water in 2004. Then there's the projects that were started before we got them - Merlin 40 for example. Don't know whe...
