Llandrindod's Big Battle cancelled due to lack of entries
A FUN-FILLED day of events due to take place this weekend in Llandrindod Wells has been cancelled due to a lack of entries. The Big Battle 2: The Revenge, a follow-up to last year's inaugural Big Battle, was due to take place this Sunday, June 1. However, organisers Fuelled by Cake announced on Friday (May 30) that it was 'gutted' to have to cancel the event, due to a low response in terms of team entries. 'We are so sorry to say that we've taken the decision (for now) to cancel our planned Big Battle event this Sunday,' read a post on the Fuelled by Cake Facebook page on Friday morning. 'Please believe us when we say that we have tried our very best to find ways around this, and we are all gutted. 'Unfortunately, the event didn't attract enough team entries this time around, and so the decision to cancel has been based on: First and foremost, it is truly important to us that we create good quality events for those taking part. One that creates a buzz, a fun atmosphere and feels worth taking part in. 'We want to create events that people of our town want and can be involved in, alongside us. 'It is important to us to ensure that we provide value for money to those people who have supported us with funding for this event. 'We need to value the amount of time and energy that all the generous volunteers are giving as part of the planning and running of the event.' All teams that entered have been contacted and will receive a full refund. 'We are taking what we've learned from this and will be exploring an alternative option for creating a shorter half-day day event, and that possibly hooks onto an existing event in the town to make it more accessible to more people,' added organisers. 'To all those who entered or supported this in anyway whatsoever, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for your support and enthusiasm.' Llandrindod Community Events, which acts as co-ordinators of the Big Battle, alongside Fuelled by Cake, added its disappointment. 'Unfortunately, due to low team entries, the Big Battle has been cancelled,' it said on its Facebook page. 'It's a real shame after all the time and effort that Fuelled by Cake have put into organising and planning it for our community. 'Big thanks to everyone who supported the planning – these events only happen because people give up their time to make them work.' Last year's Big Battle was a fun-packed day of team events, culminating in an obstacle course and boat race, with the event introduced to the town last year by Fuelled by Cake and Llandrindod Community Events. This year's event was scheduled to be superhero-themed, for teams of up to 6 heroes or villains. The Big Battle includes a series of 8 challenges for you and your team to take on; some challenges are for the whole team, others for individual members. From making and flying a paper aeroplane to axe throwing, welly wanging or traversing an assault course, the array of challenges is varied. Teams receive points at each challenge station, with points building throughout the day and culminating in the final showdown – a boat race on Llandrindod Lake.
