Just been told that the show I was working on for the 5th nov isn't happening. Have I really got to go to the local municipal show as a paying guest?

I hope this isn't a sign of the approaching recession.

Regarding the recession, general thought tends to be that private firework sales won't be too badly hit, but yeah- funded events (ie funded by a local council) may well be hit as budgets are cut back on etc.

alas it's not an isolated event, we have experienced a number of cancellations this year due to events not taking place, luckily we have been able to gain work from elsewhere but it is certainly a worrying trend

We are still having one where I live, but they are doing it on the 1st of Nov, as nov 5th this year is on a wednesday! so they choose the saturday before!

I wonder if the local councils lost investment in the icelandic banks has anything to do with it?
