The forecast for wet weather on Sunday has forced organisers to cancel the Colehill Family Fun Day.

The event, to raise money for Amelia's Rainbow, was due to take place all day on Sunday.

A message from the organisers said: "It is with the greatest regret, and a decision made with very heavy hearts, that we feel we have no alternative but to cancel the Colehill Family Fun Day which was to be held tomorrow, Sunday 12 August.

"The weather forecast is for rain and wind from early morning, which will mean that many of our events and attractions will not be able to operate for safety reasons and we would not wish to hold a sub-standard event.

"The grounds had surface water after a couple of showers yesterday, and this would be much worse with prolonged rainfall overnight and early Sunday morning.

"We would like to thank everyone involved in organising the event and appreciate all of the hard work that everyone has contributed in the lead up.

"We look forward to seeing everyone in 2019!"
