Hidden Fortress is closing down
It is with regret that we have to inform you that Hidden Fortress
is closing down, due to severe financial difficulties. As
of the first of November we will no longer be open for business,
and all future events should be regarded as cancelled. For
nearly six years we have worked to bring you the best games and
gaming events in the UK. Unfortunately we can no longer continue
to do
so.
We would like to thank all the customers who have supported us
over the years, many of whom have become friends, as well as all
the staff who have worked such long hours, and the suppliers we
have dealt with.
This website will remain in place for the time being, and we will
keep the Yahoogroup going so you can continue to organise games,
announce tournaments etc in the Southampton area. The enquiries@hidden-fortress.com email address will also remain in use, but may not get checked
every day.
A note to creditors:
Hopefully we should have contacted most of our creditors by now.
If you are owed money and we haven’t contacted you yet, please
write to the shop with details of your claim.
Friday 27th October
Halloween Sale
