As regular readers will know I've been going to the national YSA conference now for several years and I throughly enjoy the weekend each time. It's a good way to meet new friends and new people.
So as you can imagine I was somewhat dismayed to recieve this email on Sunday night.
This will come a blow to many but unfortunately the 2010 Manchester Convention has had to be CANCELLED. There are several reasons why this hard decision has been made including financial, organisational and venue. More information will be available soon.
All is not lost however as there are several equallty excellent conferences taking place over the coming months. Dance are still on and we would also encourage you to meet as friends whenever you can to strengthen yourselves.
Once Again please forgive us , it was a hard choice to make but we will try harder next year.
May God be with you.
After the initial tempatation to start throwing stuff passed I suddenly realised that something didn't add up. One it was from a commitee member who wasn't on the commitee anymore. Two why was it sent out on a sunday. Three why was it send via facebook. Four why did is say nothing on the conference website. Five why had it not been sent to the conference facebook group and six why would you sent out a email to announce a cancellation and not give all the information ine one go.
The answer was not long in coming. The email unsurprisingly was a fake. The person who was supposed to have sent the email actually sent out a geniune email explaining the situation and suffice to say he was not a happy bunny.
So the conference is still on, I will get my weekend away in August hopefully once again meeting new people and making some new friends and if a church member was involved in mounting this attack ( or it could have been a prank I suppose) there better keep an eye out as there are some not very happy area authorties who would like a word with him.
