Elite Dangerous: IMPORTANT UPDATED PLANS | Festive Community Meet Up

[sallymorganmoore]

Greetings Commanders.

We're sorry to bring this sad news to you today but due to the current COVID crisis and government updates on the steady spread of the Omicron variant (with cases discovered in Cambridge), we have made the decision to postpone our Festive Community Meet Up, planned originally for December 10th 2021.


All Commanders who have purchased tickets will be entitled to a full refund of their ticket purchases if they wish, or tickets can naturally be carried over to the new planned date, confirmed for February 25th 2022.

Our EventBrite page will be updated imminently with the changes.

For those of you who have a ticket, what we would like to do is turn our Friday the 10th event into a special digital one, including the raffle with prizes!
Arf is still excited to do his Pub Quiz!
Watch out for our plans for this in the coming week ahead. We'll be sending out details directly when we have them.

Again, huge apologies for any inconvenience caused with this reschedule. We'll reach out to those who have bought tickets individually to issue desired refunds of ticket transfers.​

We truly are looking forward to meeting you all in person in the new year.

o7 Commanders.

So predictable.

 

[Drexia Kali]

That's really unfortunate but also, given the circumstances, the only right decision to make. Also, happy friday everyone

 

[LeoBartlet]

Just saying you could have an online meet up on zoom where contests are held to see who gets kicked first

My money is on @Rubbernuke

 

[Phoenix_Dfire]

right, got to cancel my train ticket and hotel room now!

[Aleph]

Absolutely the right call

Thanks for the update, understood and given the changing circumstances, it looks like this decision was for the best.

Look forward to attending in February of next year, hopefully the situation in the UK is looking better by then.

Stay safe everyone.

You mean we can't all live the dream and have cat Powerplay avatars?

It's not the PP atavars I worry about it's the Cats memes.

 

[Rubbernuke]

It's not the PP atavars I worry about it's the Cats memes.

But we can be the memes- its part party and all performance art

I mean people will be falling over themselves to be Mahon Cat- I just know it.

You're fooling no-one Zemina.

There is always a chance that any public gathering will get cancelled or postponed at these times unfortunately. It's nobody's fault. It's just the way it is at the moment.

 

[Alec Turner]

Sorry to hear that, I know it will be a great disappointment for everyone who was planning to go. I'm getting flashbacks to xmas 2020 right now ... oh no, not again! It's beginning to feel like Covid is the modern Grinch. The good news is that, depending on how the graphs move over the next month, and on whether this sells out or not ... I might actually consider coming along in February.

 

[Robert Maynard]

Thanks for the update, Sally.

I'd already had representations from local management that I should not attend due to the developing situation with regard to the new variant so was on the cusp of unilaterally deciding to (very sadly) forgo my attendance.

Looking forward to the re-scheduled date.

 

[FutronBob]

Good on you guys for putting the health of yourselves and your fellow commanders first and foremost.

o7 and stay safe everyone!

I think, other than an egg at this trying time only the End of Year Update can turn the frowns up-side down

I'll leave this here.

Can I ask those that need a TTE to leave their name and how many they took.

I have to bulk order eggs in and I suspect I'll run out before the end of the day once the end of the year blog is posted.

 

[StuartGT]

Fully understand and thanks for making the sensible decision; will see you all in February instead

I’ll take a few for my breakfast burrito in the morning. It’ll be much better than the popcorn I usually have during the Developer Update aftermath.
