All
In light of the fact that quite a few people look like they will have problems getting to Sproutfest, I have contacted the hotel with regard to their cancellation policy, unfortunately any cancelled food orders or room cancelations after this afternoon will be charged for
They are saying that although the main roads in the area are OK, the back roads are very icy, & as all those who have attended before will know, the hotel is in a little village & the carpark is up a steep slope
I have just looked at the weather forecast & it shows another large swage of snow crossing the country from the northwest tomorrow evening.
The hotel have given us the option to cancel the whole event & rebook for another date without incurring any cost. Regretfully after discussing with Digger & Ash I have come to the decision that this is probably the best thing to do in the circumstances.
To say I am gutted is an understatement, & I know that Buelligans are a tenacious lot but realistically I don't want to be responsible for people getting stuck, having accidents or ending up with a bill from the hotel & nothing to show for it, so sadly I have to tell you that for the first time ever I am going to have to cancel Sproutfest
As soon as I can organise a new date I'll let you know.
if we are there than just charging us for not turning up - far from stupid! 
in a delayed pleasure sort of way.
. Just to echo everyone else I dont think anyone would have slept easily if any one of us had come to even minor harm attempting to make the journey.
