(SPEEDWAY 1)SOMERSET will make a third attempt to stage their Christmas Cracker individual event on February 8.The Rebels took an early decision to postpone the meeting on Friday due to the prior warning of severe weather.Promoter Debbie Hancock said: We felt that it was best for all concerned, especially the riders and the fans, if we made the early decision to call off the meeting as it would save people any unnecessary travel arrangements.It does seem like the weather is conspiring against us as far as the meeting is concerned, the original attempt to stage it just after Christmas being postponed due to heavy rain and now its snow that is the problem, but we will give it one more try so lets hope it is a case of third time lucky.
