** IMPORTANT UPDATE **
Hi Guys,
Well as most of you know, life has its up and downs, and here its no exception.
2009 has been a hard year, and unfortunately the credit crunch and the fact its been so long since robot wars has been on TV has really taken its toll. So much so on a few occasions this year I have been close to losing it all.
Luckily enough there€™s two sides to RR, events, and my long lasting and ever expanding Educational projects. Unfortunately this year on several occasions this paid educational work has had to subsidise losses from ticket sales. Not a good situation to be in.
This can€™t go on any longer and during the summer I have had to make some pretty serious changes in order to survive these hard times, along with other organisations I know in the entertainment sector who are doing the same things.
You will have noticed that the Winter Tour events have now swapped from 2 days, to 1 day. I know that around 50% of roboteers prefer two day events, however the cost of the Saturday night show currently doesn€™t make enough profit let alone cover the costs in some instances.
The RR arena is currently in a the middle of another redesign, this time the change is going to be quite drastic, however it is all part of the €œ big change €œ.
Now during my cost saving€¦ there€™s one other thing which is going to have to go€¦
Unfortunately, although I was originally planning on having a substantial amount of prize money for the UK champs, it€™s going to have to go. It€™s been a hard decision, not taken lightly, but in order to survive it has to be done.
I will pledge to still provide a trophy worth fighting for, and of course the honour of becoming the 2009 UK champion. I have entrusted someone to make it, and it will be under construction very soon.
I hope that you will all understand this hard decision€¦I have many times in the past taken the hit, but its time to make commercial decision in these tough times.
Maybe there will be a few teams who don€™t want to carry on competing in the competition, that€™s fine and understandable but hopefully the majority will understand and support the decision.
If of course things change, and the big changes work€¦ then hopefully 2010 will be yet another successful and profitable year for us all.
Regards
John

Teambud are not in it for the money mate.....no worries. you make sure you look after your family and yourself first before us lot. :)
Not fallen off my chair in shock, just thought it went without saying to be honest. I actually find it quite re-assuring that you don't take these decisions as a knee jerk reaction and clearly struggle with them. It shows that you have the best interests of the sport and the roboteers at heart. Tough call but necessary, well done!
On a more important subject, I've been meaning to ask for a while if we still have the cage?
