2021 Sevenoaks Circular Cancellation - a note from David Thornton
It is with some inevitability that the Kent committee have decided to cancel the above event. Current covid restrictions have resulted in this decision. Had there been a chance that the event could have been held on a reduced scale, we would most likely have reached the same conclusion for the safety of competitors, marshals and more importantly the wider public.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank those people who had already offered to help marshal the event. In particular I would like to thank Neal and Jan O’Rourke for their valuable time spent checking the route description for me. Rest assured that investment of time won’t go to waste and fingers crossed we can all look forward to a full event in 2022.
