64Comet404 Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 As some of you on the board may have heard, a tornado touched down in the Ottawa area on Friday, September 21st. It caused serious damage in some sections of the Ottawa and Gatineau regions, fortunately without loss of life. One of the major areas of infrastructure affected was the transformer station at Merivale. Right now, it has been out for almost 20 hours, and some areas of the city may be out for at least another day. This transformer station left almost 300,000 people without power, and also left our venue in the dark. We waited for the power to come back on, but it didn't happen. As the venue would not allow the show to proceed without power (dark, with no fire control or toilet facilities), we were forced to postpone the show. The new date is next Saturday, September 29th, at the same location. While we realize this date puts us in conflict with the Group 25 show in Toronto, our choice of dates was limited by other events (since our contest is held in a church Sunday is not an option!). We would like to thank all the people who travelled to our contest, and hope that we will see you next Saturday.
Rider Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Sorry to hear you guys had to cancel the show. Good luck next weekend with the reschedule date.
