A POPULAR event that sees thousands of car enthusiasts come together has been postponed.

Bicester Heritage's Scramble will no longer take place on April 26 and has instead been moved to June 21.

Organisers say they have been actively monitoring governmental and WHO advice regarding the development of coronavirus over the past weeks.

It said on its website: "With a dramatic shift in the global response, it is clear that COVID-19 will have a profound impact beyond our health and day-to-day activity.

"As a result Bicester Heritage has made the decision to postpone the next Scramble."

The site had originally scheduled its second Scramble event for June 21, but this will now move to June 20, 2021 instead.

It added: "The nature of our Scramble and Super Scramble events, attracting more than 6,500 enthusiasts of all ages from across the UK and abroad, means that the postponement of these ever-popular events is the most appropriate decision to take at this time."

Bicester Heritage says it is disappointed not to be able to go ahead with the original dates as planned.
