Supporters Lozart Posted September 24, 2020 Supporters Share Posted September 24, 2020 Seems their landlord is being a tosser. https://www.facebook.com/groups/959971977469022/permalink/2041265962672946 Quote Site announcement So for those who have visited us since the end of lockdown you will already be aware of the many physical changes on site, and that many of our team are no longer with us. We have unfortunately been unable to reach any kind of workable deal with our landlords over the Covid shutdown, and the joy of social distancing laws have meant most of the non airsoft activities that we used to run are no longer able to take place. After having looked to find any other solution we have been forced to conclude that we will not be able to continue operate at Bravo One once the business rates holiday ends. We will be operating our full schedule of shoots, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday up until mid December. Private Saturday shoots are still available until then as well. But after that we will be closing up the doors and taking the site down. Its been an amazing 4 years with you guys, and we hope to see as many of you possible join us over the next few moths to help us see the site off in style. Shame. I never got to visit but it sounded pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted September 24, 2020 Supporters Share Posted September 24, 2020 Oh, bugger, very sorry to hear that. Note that the rates holiday is just deferring bills, not writing them off. I very much fear that a lot of businesses are going to simply wrap up rather than pay up.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted September 24, 2020 Supporters Share Posted September 24, 2020 I'm hopeful that a lot of sites will come back once [we've defeated the virus | sanity is restored]. The demand will be there. It's just a damn shame to see sites close that have had a lot of work done to them. But they can be rebuilt, and we will come.

Possible silver lining from all of this is that shops who move to a heavier online model might leave a surplus of buildings that landlords can rent out (like the new Zed place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albiscuit Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I agree and think there will be a hell of a lot of empty buildings around for the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
