Due to weather and road conditions, including a report from one of our skips of cars in the ditch, we have decided to cancel the Wednesday night Ladder League draw for this week.

The draw scheduled for tonight will be moved to the end of the current draw.

The weather forecast says that the snow will taper to flurries later this evening, but the wind gusts should keep the snow that is falling blowing around, and the roads are slippery, so we’ll cancel both draws.
