Tomorrows news ? The organisers of the Newquay Boardmasters Festival has called in the Receivers. You may jest ... but you remind me that event organisers these days need to have a safety net in place in case something like this goes wrong. "Even" the Melksham Rail User Group has operational and financial fallbacks in place to cover if Santa's reindeer are sick on the day and can't travel or if the railway is closed by snow. |

People tweeting GWR▸ about refunds with an announcement due first thing this morning.
Feel for those who were due to attend the event but the weather forecast for the next few days is awful so the right decision has had to be made.

Music festival now cancelled on fears of bad weather. From the BBC» : The Boardmasters music festival has been cancelled due to warnings of severe weather conditions.
The three-day event headlined by the Wu-Tang Clan, Florence + The Machine and Foals, was to take place in Newquay, Cornwall, this weekend.
However, organisers pulled the plug due to "forecasted severe weather conditions", they said.
They said the decision to cancel was made after the festival consulted police and independent safety advisers.

Feel for those who were due to attend the event but the weather forecast for the next few days is awful so the right decision has had to be made. If GWR has any compassion they would offer a full refund foregoing any administration fee. Whether festival goers will get a refund on their festival tickets is another matter. What about all the small traders having bought in stock for this event, might a new Cornish deliciousey arise out of this, Roll, Bap, Butter, Burger, Sausage and Pasty Pudding ? |

………….this won't help the mood.....wonder how they will manage the "compulsory reservations" in these circumstances?
09:03 London Paddington to Newquay due 14:30
Facilities on the 09:03 London Paddington to Newquay due 14:30.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Will be formed of 5 coaches instead of 9.

If the event is cancelled then the vast majority won’t be travelling down to Cornwall today surely? |

Yes, that’s where the problems are more likely to surface, though some, especially those who’ve booked accommodation, will presumably stay there now they’ve made the effort to get down there?
