Press Release 27th April 2011
Organisers are urging people to get involved and secure Nailstock's future
The organisers behind this year's postponed Nailstock, which was due to take place over the Royal wedding and bank holiday weekend, are urging people to come forward to ensure the event's future.
While some of the bands due to be seen at the Nailsworth event in the end performing at venues around the five valleys over the weekend, it's hoped that an organised and fully funded Nailstock will take place next year.
"It all depends on the community. We want to see people coming forward to demonstrate their enthusiasm and show support, or better still, become involved," said the event’s director Chris Gregory.
"There are hundreds of supporters on the Nailstock Facebook page indicating that there is widespread backing for the event," added Mr Gregory: "We urge them and as many people from the local community as possible to attend our open meeting at the Nailswort Social Club on 10 May. We hope people will put forward ideas and suggestions to help shape the event in years to come."
The meeting takes place at the Brewery Lane-based social club in Nailsworth at 7.30pm.

PRESS RELEASE 13thApril 2011
Nailstock 2011 postponed until 2012
Regrettably the Nailstock Festival scheduled for 2011 has had to be postponed due to lack of ticket sales.
The Nailstock organising committee met on the 12thof April and voted to postpone the event until 2012.
This decision was taken in order to protect traders, performers and festival goers as advanced ticket sales where not strong enough to guarantee the event could go forward.
This was to be the first year that the event was a ticket only event rather than free entry. This was as a result of the 2008 event being so popular that licensing has been imposed requiring much more rigorous control on numbers attending.
Also Spiralling costs associated with security, licensing, and equipment meant that without strong advanced sales the event could potentially not cover its costs. The event was designed to make a profit to be used to support local organisations and services such as the sub rooms, Nailsworth Youth centre and Nailsworth Library. All organisation has been on a voluntary basis and the 100s of hours expended will now be in invested in planning next years event.
All ticket holders will be refunded and deposits made by traders will also be returned. Those people who supported the festival by buying advanced tickets will also be offered a discount next year in recognition.
We realise that this news will be disappointing to many local people but hope that given the circumstances this will be recognised as the right decision.
