Where did you find this information mate? I'm with the OP and couldn't find any info so I asked a guy I know from Sheffield CAMRA if he had heard anything and he claims there were issues last year and if it goes ahead this year it will be later in the year.

Not sure if it is happening as they usually send out a Christmas card to volunteers (of which I am one) and they did not send them out, I have tried contacting the email at Magna but no reply and that was before Christmas. Hopefully later this year

as far as I am aware it has been postponed to later in the year and the new dates aren't yet announced.

 

Talks still ongoing with Magna Trust regarding the venue hire and accounts.

Apparently created by Rotherham CAMRA, too.

 

Does anyone know the reason for the postponement?

Very interesting. On the surface of it you would think this was it wouldn't you? Yes it makes no mention of it lasting more than the one day and nothing on the Rotherham CAMRA or Magna sites further substantiate this. Personally I'd be more tempted to go with Andy's knowledge.
