Here's the confirmation email
It is with great regret that I have to inform you that the CLA Game Fair 2012 has been cancelled due to adverse weather and ground conditions.
We were forecast 36 hours of drying conditions, which we have had. We hoped that this would have been enough to dry out the waterlogged ground. Unfortunately, the benefit has been negligible and as such it would prove impossible to allow the 3,000-4,000 vehicle movements still required to build the show.
Every effort has been made over the past few weeks to protect the integrity of the ground and all parties involved have been exceptional in their efforts to try to make sure the show went on.
The weather forecast is predicting significant further rainfall in the next 48 hours. The situation looks set to only deteriorate from this point on.
This knowledge combined with increased health and safety risks during the build and for the public during the three days of the CLA Game Fair has led us to the point where we do not believe we can deliver the show.
Unfortunately we have had no option but to take the sad decision that this year’s CLA Game Fair cannot go ahead.
While this is obviously devastating for all involved, please rest assured that all services purchased from the CLA Game Fair will be refunded in full.
I would ask you to please bear with us through this challenging time.
For all information regarding refunds please refer to our website at

Kind Regards
