You want to know when, where, why? Or what, exactly?
I coached two soccer teams this year, have coached soccer and cricket for a good five years. I can't remember all the cancellations.

99913 2002-11-20 08:38:00 Thats good enough for me.:)
Just events will do, not specific instances, only the type.:)

Reasons are just a bonus, but not necessary. Trying to build a profile in an assignment.:)

All Info will be accepted here:p

99914 2002-11-20 08:41:00 Well, Junior club cricket, cancelled mostly, weather.

Midget and Junior soccer, mostly cancelled due to ground closures due to rain. Sometimes transferred in an effort to get a game.
Same with my old fart senior soccer team, cancellations and transfers.

Also, Presidents League tennis cancellations.
Water Wise training.

No cancellations of indoor cricket though.

99915 2002-11-20 08:45:00 Pity bout the indoor cricket though:p

Seriously, thank you very much. This helps greatly:)

Does anyone else have any other events, beside sporting, that have troubles?

99916 2002-11-20 08:55:00 Usually cancelled due to inappropriate weather conditions:

Outdoor concerts, garden festivals, expos, air shows

Cancelled due to lack of interest:

Interest group meetings, Auctions, University/Extended/Adult education classes, Elections (not the main one though, unfortunately)

Cancelled to to lack of funding

Support groups, Parades


Hope that gets you going, and is the sort of thing you were looking for.

99919 2002-11-20 09:21:00 What.... this question for real??

OK... Given the nature of my work, does it surprise you that i have been involved with more things that have been posponed or cancelled than i could ever care to count or list!

99920 2002-11-20 09:35:00 Classes, operations, flights... due to strikes - teachers, radiographers, airline staff....

I suppose doublebooking of venues leads to cancellations or postponements as well.
