• 22nd July 2010 - Various updates.
  • Infest 2010 is drawing ever closer so it's time for some news updates!
    
    We're very close to selling out so tickets are now only available through MNS, Ticketweb and Infest HQ. Don't leave it too long or you may miss out!
    
    Wondering what to do on Saturday and Sunday morning? Want to sweat out that hangover? Well, now you can because the University is offering Infest goers a special discounted price to use their gym and pool over the Infest weekend. More details will be posted on our site soon.
    
    As usual, we will be raising money for two charities over the Infest weekend: the Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Guide Dogs Association. Both are very deserving causes and we're proud to support them - please don't be shy when the collecting tins come round - every little helps!
    
    
    Finally, on a serious note, Bradford Police have informed us that the reported EDL demonstration (and, presumably, all the associated counter-group demos) is very likely to take place on Saturday 28th August in Bradford City Centre. All businesses (including hotels) have been advised of the situation and, if you cannot avoid the city centre, you are urged to take extra precautions for your safety. Get taxis, share taxis, don't leave people walking around on their own...
    
    We want everyone attending Infest to be safe - please keep the Infest spirit alive and contine to look out for each other.
    
    More news updates soon!

• 09th June 2010 - Political demonstrations in Bradford
  • 
    It has come to our attention that the 'English Defence League' are planning to demonstrate in Bradford town centre on Saturday 28th August.
    
    This demonstration may not actually happen but as a precaution we are working with the venue and the local police.
    
    At the moment it appears that the venue and it's immediate surroundings should not be directly affected as the demonstration appears to be planned for the town centre only. However, it makes sense to be wary of this issue and to perhaps plan to avoid the town centre and other potential hot spots should they become known on the Saturday - and to take extra care if travelling alone to and from the venue.
    
    
• 09th June 2010 - Tickets and Accommodation selling fast!
