    Default COLOURS 2020 - Newbury - Cancelled

    Been keeping a weather eye on this but finally they have decided to cancel. Here is what they've put on the site:


    Dear All,

    It is with great sadness I have to announce that Colours 2020 will not be happening due to the restrictions placed upon us because of the Covid 19 or Coronavirus. We have tried to hold on as long as we could in the hope that by September things would have normalised, but we have reached the point where we needed to make a decision to either proceed or not. Obviously, we have to make the safety of our attendees, our traders and our club members our highest priority. Like so many events before us, this means that we find ourselves in a position where we cannot in good conscience proceed. At the time of writing this it is intended that Colours will return in September 2021 but we will communicate that at the appropriate time.

    For specific questions on trade bookings please contact our trade rep. who's details you should have.

    Andy Scott on behalf of Newbury and Reading Wargames Society Committee.

    Yes, it is sad but it is not really surprising.

    Shame, but necessary.

    Looks like 2020 is becoming a bit of a write off... things are looking up, maybe we will get to do Doncaster at the end of September, hope so but not holding my breath...

    An all too familiar story at the moment. I just wonder if any event will manage to run this year. Seems like there is no end in sight for all this.

    Can't see any event getting the go ahead for this year, also we are already seeing some of the early 2021 shows being cancelled as well, none of which is good news.
