Notice:
The management for this event has said we can no longer use the venue. They cite complaints that by hosting the event the RSC would be 'taking sides'.
We have made it clear that we are simply acting to support the Red Cross in providing humanitarian relief.
This means that unless we can find another venue we would need to cancel.
