    Apologies if this has already been mentioned

    The websites states 'EVENT CANCELED DUE TO LOCAL AUTHORITY RESTRICTIONS'

    I thought it was fairly amicable? I know there was some aggro on here concerning the Armed Forces involvement in the event

    So SQUADDIEFEST '10 has been cancelled due to lack of interest.

    I for one am delighted!

    :lol: Oh ok

    I'm kind of bummed as I was looking forward to picking up some memorabilia and meeting some fighters, had no interest in the Military side of the event, plus it was only gonna be a short drive from me and was happening the day after me birthday

    Bad times!

    Hope the organisers didnt lose too much time and money. It sounded like it wasnt going to be a decent little set up. Me and a few mates were gonna drive down.
