Worcester Pride "Celebration of LGBT Life"
13th September
2010: Worcester Pride / Brewery Tap Critical
Update
Hello All, It is with great sadness that the Worcester Pride Forum wishes to
announce a final decision to cancel “Celebration of LGBT Life” which were
planned to be held at the Brewery Tap, 50 Lowesmoor, Worcester on 17th through
to the 19th September
2010.
Several factors have been against us which have directly influenced the decision
made today.
1. Necessary work being carried out
by EON
Energy in Lowesmoor, affecting
all local businesses. This work is necessary for the redevelopment work
currently being undertaken. This has been scheduled for 17th September
2010 which will leave the venue without electricity until an estimated 12
midnight, should this work suffer any setbacks (which are beyond our control) it
could also infringe onto the daytime and possible evening of the 18th September
2010.
2. Several of our community
contributors/traders and entertainment acts are travelling from national
locations to attend the Brewery Tap for these celebrations, and it would be
unfair to allow this with no definite provision available.
3. On this basis, it is impossible
to safely open the venue to the general public without a stable electricity
supply.
4. Additionally refurbishment work
being undertaken at the Brewery Tap has not been completed and signed off by
regulatory bodies needed to open; final contract work planned for 17th has
also been placed on hold, therefore delaying the opening of the venue and
impacting on both Worcester Pride Celebrations and the opening of the Brewery
Tap.
Worcester Pride Forum and The Brewery Tap wishes to apologise to all our
friends/customers for this sad news and inconvenience it may cause.
An update as to the completion of the Brewery Tap venue and at last some GOOD
NEWS will be released very shortly.
