Tuesday 26th Aug
It is always disappointing when a large community orientated event fails in its mission, and it was with great sadness that we learnt today that the much anticipated 2nd Beachdown festival has been cancelled.
After a bit of cofusion and a few rumours , the directors confirmed today that the worse possibe news is true.
The following is the statement issued on their own websiteDear All
It is with immense personal regret that the Directors of Beachdown
Festival have been advised that they must announce that due to slower
than forecast ticket-sales and lack of support at a critical time from
our bank and certain suppliers that despite being so so close to being
able to deliver Beachdown Festival we are unable to do so. Very simply
we were unable to meet the demands that the current economic climate
put against us and at the eleventh hour despite having most of the
infrastructure in place we have been forced to cancel the event.
We wish to say at this time how desperately sorry we are to all
those who have bought tickets or were participating in the event and to
say that we all here are personally shattered expecially after eleven
months of battling against the recession to try and put this event on
and coming so close. We also wish to advise everyone that we explored
every possible avenue to finance the event including re-mortgaging our
houses to combat the unwillingness of banks to support us.
We will do everything in our power to give the best information
that we can via the web-site and via email but we ask that people
understand that we will also be inundated with enquiries but we will
endeavour to communicate to everyone as best we can.
We ask all ticket-holders to get information from the outlet that
you purchased the ticket from in the first instance and once again we
will do everything we can to get as much infrmation as we can to
everyone as quickly as we can.
