GUTTED TO ANNOUNCE I'VE HAD TO MAKE THE DECISION TO BRING THE EVENT INDOORS

yes, unfortunatley i have had to make the heartbreaking decision based on forecasts that indicate rain all morning and till 3pm on Sat to bring the event indoors.
this is due to the possible financial losses i personlly shall be liable for if the events is soaking wet, which looks highly likely, also from a health and safety and insurance liability it raises a lot of concerns.
our only other option is to bring the event indoors and try make money for the charity that way.
we will still have the same music and visual art line up so far (line up will go back 2hrs with event kick off at 2pm, charity raffle (huge pile of dubstep and DNB promo's from Jonny 3.5 today! ) and we are still hoping to run one room with facepainting and kids art activities , although there will be no indoor capabilities to accomodate pushchairs etc).....this obviously a big disapointment to us and our potential attendees

ABSOLUTLEY GUTTED

perhaps we will attempt a re-run sometime if weather improves in the summer (!)

FUCKING WEATHER



200 CAPACITY VENUE, WITH SPECIAL BASS HEAVY SYSTEM BROUGHT IN FOR THE DAY (NOT OPUS AUDIO AS VENUE DONT HAVE 3 PHASE POWER SUPPLY)

GET DOWN EARLY DOOR FOR WHAT (DESPITE THE DISAPOINTMENT) IS GONNA BE 13 HOURS OF SHIT HOT MUSIC FOR FREE ENTRY
