 November 2007 has been cancelled

 

The Highfield Show is Cancelled as of yesterday afternoon (18/09/07) when I had a telephone call from the Caretaker.

They have cancelled it because they say they are not ready for the volume of general public that would be viewing the exhibition.

 

I have tried to reverse the decision but they say that they are too busy to get the school safety compliant by November.

We will have to look for another venue. Ben.
