LeachLAN 8 – Postponed

SWLANs — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 16:20:33 +0000

Unfortunately, due to lack of signups and after consulting with our confirmed attendees we’ve made the decision to postpone L8.

We are now looking to hold the event in the summer of 2012, we’ll be posting exact dates soon.

If you have booked, we will be contacting you soon by email to confirm what you wish to do. Your booking remains valid for the new date, and our cancellation fee will be waved should you chose to do so. Full details will be provided in that mail.

We’re hoping to hold a smaller event soon, to tide us over. More details on that when we have any.
