The board met all day yesterday and decided to suspend the company’s intended closure on April 14. It will take another fortnight to see if the company can raise $10  million to put on another season, presumably under new management.

The vote for postponement was 35-4. The previous vote for closure was 33-1.

Public protest has also made an impact.

This is not over, yet.
