Hey all there is light at the end of the tunnel.
A message from Warped Sports regarding the new scheduled dates for our North v South Airsoft Festival 2020.
Dear friends
For the first time in our 28 years, we have found ourselves being forced into postponing the North V South Festival.
We have been keeping a tiny bit of positivity and optimism here - with the event being 6 weeks away - that maybe, just maybe, some restrictions would be lifted by 8th May and most of us might be going about our business again. We have been continuing to work behind the scenes to deliver the festival we all love, in order that we could proceed if the situation improved. However with each passing day this has been looking increasingly unlikely, and potentially irresponsible to even keep as an option, and the decision has now been taken out of our hands anyway as the MOD have now cancelled all bookings for training facilities (everything to 1st July at this stage we understand).
We have been working in the past few days to try and save the situation as best we can !
Clearly no-one knows exactly when these type of events will be able to resume again, however we feel we should all remain positive and want to make sure we are in a position to proceed with the event as soon as its safe and appropriate to do so.
We have identified a number of potential dates for the postponement. At this time we are working to postpone the North V South Festival to.. 31 JULY – 2 AUGUST 2020
Of course it may all be in vain as clearly public safety is the number 1 priority and we all need to continue to heed the rules and advice given at all times !. But the new date is 17+ weeks away right now, so we would invite you all to join us in keeping our fingers crossed that the situation is improved, and we are all able to get together on 31/7-2/8.
We know a great many of you will have already made plans for booking travel, accommodation, holidays etc for the original dates and for that we apologise for the inconvenience. We know a number of hotels and transport companies are now allowing free amendments to bookings so we hope some can take advantage of that. Your North V South tickets remain fully valid for the new target date.
With all that being said, please remember we are an independent company with a small team who work tirelessly around the year to deliver the festival to you. Of course none of us wanted this but at this time we must all make the right decisions to keep everyone safe.
It is a decision which puts both our passion and our livelihoods in the balance, like so many others in so many industries as a result of the pandemic. We are publicly appealing to all of you – to hold onto your ticket bookings. We fully intend to provide the festival you know and love, just at a later date!
We are players and fans just like you, and this is the scariest time we have ever had to face as a business. We truly appreciate the time, money, and support you have invested in NvS over the years, and we need you now more than ever !
Please stay safe all, and we will see you soon.
