I'm not sure the Queen would have wanted things cancelled.

Anyone know if the inter counties athletic championship for u17 in Oxford tomorrow is going ahead?

You may be better off asking the event organisers?

Im sure there are loads of people on here who keep up to date with the Inter countries athletic championship for u17s at Oxford.

I know for a fact that the Queen said the first thing she wanted cancelled was the inter counties athletic championship for u17 in Oxford.

Soz.

My child is recovering from cancer and will be gutted if it's cancelled. It's been a tough time for youngsters with COVID cancelling everything. But please do go ahead and have a good laugh

Great thread!

Mybeautifulfriend22 · 09/09/2022 10:02

Maybe contact organisers, check their social media? fellow athletes that attend the event? Coaches? Google?

Unicorn717 · 09/09/2022 10:02

Why can't you get hold of someone actually sorting the event? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Summerfun54321 · 09/09/2022 10:03

Ask the organisers.

Rae36 · 09/09/2022 10:06

I dont want to laugh at you op when your family have obviously had a difficult time, but I'm not sure anyone on here will know.

I'm wondering if the GAA All Britain competition is still going on at the weekend but am assuming the organisers are more likely to know than Mumsnet.

Fwiw it is annoying to be waiting to hear. I wish they'd put something on social media confirming either way so I don't potentially waste half an hour searching for ds's gumshield. I'm assuming it will go ahead, I can't see why not.

(But if anyone reading does have any GAA inside info please share...)

LemonJuiceFromConcentrate · 09/09/2022 10:08

I hope your child won’t be disappointed OP. But in that case why haven’t you made your thread title more specific?

There could be someone on MN who does actually know the answer to this highly specific q but they’d have no reason to spot your thread at all with such a generic title.

All in all it’ll be much, much easier to make a phone call or Google

OP I'm sorry your child's been unwell. That doesn't mean your question wasn't really ridiculously specific.
Call the event organisers.

mmmflakycrust81 · 09/09/2022 10:24

I get what you mean op - even channel 5 cancelling morning kids tv was irritating.

Someone really needs to do this 😅

Oldrockingchair · 09/09/2022 10:48

Why did channel 5 cancel kids’ tv?? Ffs! A 3 year old doesn’t give a shit, what a stupid thing to do. I really hate the world.

My 3 year old keeps asking questions.

Oldrockingchair · 09/09/2022 10:49

And sorry op, I hope it’s running. My dcs do loads of sporting competitions and I’d be fucking FURIOUS if someone cancelled it for this.

Really?? I’m pretty sure mine wouldn’t have cared at all. But then neither do I so they probably wouldn’t have even noticed. I don’t think they knew who the queen was at that age, she’s such a non-event in our lives!
