THE Cases Somerset Rebels were forced to cancel their Salt Express-sponsored Christmas Cracker meeting for a second time.
The poor weather forecast left the Somerset promotion little option but to make the early decision to call the meeting off.
“It does seem like the weather is conspiring against us as far as the meeting is concerned, the original attempt to stage it just after Christmas being postponed due to heavy rain and now it’s snow that is the problem,” said Rebels promoter Debbie Hancock.
“We will give it one more try, the meeting has now been re-arranged for February 8, with tapes up on heat one at 7.30pm, so let’s hope it is a case of third time lucky.”
