Huge apologies everyone - last night we had the bad news that the landlords and land agents have had a change of usage policy for Grafton park Wood, with the upshot being that we can no longer have use of the wood after the end of May, and cannot hold any events on Saturdays, or any overnighters.
This makes existing game plans unworkable and, given that we have constructed the game around the site and it's features and facilities, even if we found another large site available that weekend it would be impossible to re-write a new game plan with only a few weeks remaining.
Rather than cobble something together or run an event for the sake of running an event we have made the decision to postpone. So, with a heavy heart we are returning monies already paid and we will be attempting to have another go at this scenario at a later date.
Sorry once again. It isn't the first time we have had sites pulled and I don't suppose it will be the last!
Bugger, that is a real shame. It is such a nice site too.
Thanks for all your hard work on this so far, I hope you manage to find another suitable venue.
Cheers

that is a real bugger for you, I look forward to it rising phoenix like in the future.
Yes, it's a kick in the dick, given the amount of planning that's gone into it already but, at least we've got plenty of notice and, a working gameplan for future use, if we can find a suitable site.
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
Absolutely gutted.I was really looking forward to this one.
Me too Rich. We'll do it at some point.
I'll issue refunds via Paypal tonight folks.
Very disapointed for you chaps. However, as I couldn't make those dates and I really wanted to do this event, please excuse me for seeing a silver lining.
Bugger
Damn. So the only event this year I have the uniform for goes out of the window
Ah well, ces't la vie I suppose. Real shame you got treated so shabbily. Having to scrap an event so far into organizing it must really hurt.

Unfortunately this sort of cancellation havens a lot. Its a right pain but you have tolive with it.
Aye, and for the record Close Action have been brilliant. It's the site owners and land agents who've changed things.
Oh No! I'm really sorry to hear this, particularly after all your hard work.
I was really looking forward to this not least because it seems that every other event being planned between Crete and Lenino seems to be falling on the wrong weekends for me.

Sorry to hear that, a real bugger indeed. I was really looking forward to this as well. Hopefully you can find a suitable replacement as it would be a real shame for all your hard work to go to waste.
That's a bugger. *Puts the Bobby's uniform back in the Mr Ben wardrobe*
So sorry about the news. I was looking forward to this. I hope something can be sorted out elsewhere.
Aw no.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Sorry to hear that chaps
OK, all refunds have been sorted.
Dean and Barrie and Anne, your payments may be slightly longer to come through as Paypal needs to take the money from our bank account first.

So sorry to hear that we've been messed about by the landloads/agents of the site - nothing to do with pheasant breeding is it?
I must admit that, though sad to hear it's not yet going ahead, I'm happy to hear that it is currently only "postponed" as it sounds like one hell of an experiance, and certainly one that I really want to be part of, and only yesterday it was looking like I could not actually now make that date for definate and would have had to miss out....
...so yeah, peeved that it has had a spanner in it's works - but secretly pleased as it means that a new date may be more allowing of me to attend!!!

Oh NO! I can't belive it. First game for me in years, I got clearance from high command and logged on to book my place!!!! AAAARGHHH
Really sorry for all the organisers too, much effort. Hope it can be rescheduled on another date.
Is there any chance we can just all meet up at a big site somewhere and do a bit of training or something? I rarely use my Brit kit and now having had to make space, the German kit is being sold off fast so something where brit kit can be work would be good....?
