I recieved this email from cguk yesterday

watzza_uppa,

I don't know if any of you read the industry press, but we found out yesterday
(1 day before it was publically announced) that the London Event Co have
CANCELLED Game Zone Live this year - apparently, this is due to a cascading lack
of funding from major investors.

We do not have the full story yet, but suffice to say that as a result, we will
probably have to cancel CGEUK 2005 unless we can find alternative venues who are
willing to offer us a deal of some sort.

We have e-mailed Fairfield Halls in Croydon, and will, over the course of the
next week, approach other venues.

Any further announcements will be made via the forums...

From our point of view, this is a massive blow - we gave up our booking at
Fairfield Halls because GZL offered us £125,000 worth of floor space PLUS the
booths etc, as well as an estimated 140,000 visitors. We are extremely
disappointed, and will do our utmost to find a new venue.

In the meantime, if anyone has any ideas for venues, please let us know the name
of the venue, the location and any contact details you can find (web address /
e-mail / phone etc...)

Kind regards

Chris & Chris
