From a post I made elsewhere when someone else asked about refunds...

At least one of the guys involved in organising it is a bit of a local character, who cycles between having loads of money and being bankrupt every few years. He seems to be heading towards a bankrupt phase at present, having recently, I believe, sold his trendy wine bar. He's made quite a lot of people in Pickering very unhappy through various means and personally, having met him on several occasions, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

Personally, I wouldn't get your hopes up folks but I'd love to be proved wrong, so we'll see.

This is all, of course, just my opinion and should be treated as such.
