LEEDS SOCIAL 2 JUNE - REASON FOR CANCELLATION

LEEDS

Spoke to the "venue" - the Faversham -

who were "meant" to have hosted last Friday evening's Leeds Social.

The event was cancelled at the last minute despite the fact that a guest list of up to 200 persons had been arranged and many Fabbers had arranged hotel accommodation etc.

The reality re the cancellation was follows. After April's Leeds Social - held for the first time at the Faversham - Carrie - our Fab organiser - mentioned to the Fav's Events Manager that she may look to host the next Leeds Social at the same venue. The Faversham said that would be fine, but in order to arrange staff etc they would need written confirmation of the date, approx numbers and payment of a deposit.

After April, Carrie allegedly made no further contact with the venue. The first that the Faversham knew that "an event" had been organised by Carrie was when a DJ arrived on Friday (late ?) afternoon asking for access to the events room in order to set up his equipment.

The Faversham Events Manager was understandably bemused and shortly thereafter received a call from Carrie. She was apparently rude and abusive. The venue said that they had heard nothing from Carrie for several weeks and thus it was far too late to arrange for staff to attend etc at such short notice. If she had even let them know even just 1-2 days beforehand then they may have been able to accommodate her wishes.

An hour or so later Carrie did re-contact the venue and apologised for her inappropriate outburst and said that the event was in the alternative to be held at the Parkside Tavern. As an act of immense good faith the Faversham's Events Manager, who should have left work by the early evening, stayed on at the premises until 945pm and kindly advised attendees that the event was not happening - well at the Faversham - and where appropriate re-directed folk to the Parkside.

Other matters were mentioned, but we would prefer to stick to the core facts.

That is the venue's side of the story.

We have no reason whatsoever to doubt their integrity.
