Thread Name: The Improper Folk Festival (Pickering, UK)
Subject: RE: The Improper Folk Festival (PickeringUK)
UPDATE: Thursday 9am
Following a site inspection at 8am this morning the site of the Pickering Folk Festival is covered in standing water. It is raining now and more heavy rain is forecast over the next three days so the event has been cancelled in the interests of public safety. The Events Office will be in contact with you after the weekend.

DISCLAIMER: Although every reasonable safeguard is assured, the organisers cannot be held responsible for any alterations, cancellations or postponements to any event or part thereof.

Hmmm wasn't there when I looked at the site at 11am this morning. Not a very customer service focussed announcement is it? What happened to 'we're very sorry and will refund your tickets in due course.'?

I also have it on good authority that the site is NOT currently under standing water and am half minded to go and photograph it.
