Thread Name: Miskin 2007 cancelled !
Subject: Obit: Miskin 2007 cancelled !
Hi, Andy & Jillie have just made this announcement.........................

It is with a very heavy heart that I have to make this announcement.

Miskin at Easter 07 is cancelled.

Following, in our view, over zealous application of powers embodied in the new licencing act, we have been forced to cancel Miskin at Easter for this year. We have been through lengthy complicated meetings and hearings, but we always believed we would succeed, sadly not this time. Please don't ask questions, or offer suggestions, we have fought very hard and been around most routes. Furthermore, any speculation or laying of blame could very easily upset the delicate negotiations we are involved in to secure the
future of Miskin at Easter. Please bear in mind that the situation is such that any impromptu gathering in the Miskin area during Easter could also jeopardise our future hopes.

You will appreciate the size of the problem in informing so many people. Please pass this information on to anyone you know who might have been planning to come to Miskin "on spec".

You will appreciate how heartbroken we are by this decision.

Thank you for the amazing support you have given us over the years, we will be back.

We love you all,

Andy & Jillie

I am starting a new thread, as the Miskin at Easter thread may not be read regularly by all, and there may be people planning to come who will miss the announcement, please could you pass this on to all who may be planning to go to Miskin at Easter this year.
I, Like most of you, am sure Andy & Jillie put up a brave fight against this happening and they certainly have my wholehearted support and kind thoughts. They must be gutted. I hope we will all respect Andy's concerns not to jeapordise Miskin at Easter 2008, and I hopoe to see those who will come, then, God willing.
Cheers, Lucy
