[MR] Fwd: [BD] Ice Castles - Black Diamond

[Ray Cornish]

Greetings fellow gentles of Atlantia,

The following is a forward from the seneschal of Black Diamond (His work 
email address and the Merry Rose were not coooperating).


>This is the official announcement that Black Diamond has cancelled Ice
>Castles for this year.  I apologize for the late post, but we wanted to make
>sure we were doing the right thing.
>
>The original site (Armory in Christiansburg) went into lockdown because of
>the war.  The first word we received said it would probably be available for
>the event.  We later learned it was not going to be available.  The second
>site (a church) gave us a good outlook, but needed the official "blessing"
>from a committee.  As I'm sure many of you have experienced, we were later
>told "our objectives and values don't appear to blend well with those of
>your group....  so, no, our facilities are unavailable".
>
>   Since the event would need to be post-poned until March for proper
>publication in the Acorn, Black Diamond has elected to CANCEL Ice Castles
>for this year and concentrate on the future.
>
>   Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing all our
>friends at Ice Castles NEXT year.
>
>Angus Farquhar
