Dear SMASH! community,<\/p>\n
In light of the ever-evolving COVID-19 pandemic, and with the advice from the Australian Government, it is with a heavy heart that SMASH Inc has decided to postpone the SMASH! 2020 event.<\/p>\n
We understand that SMASH! 2020 is only 4 months away and you have been looking forward to this event, but we have decided to place the health and safety of our volunteers and our attendees as our top priority.<\/p>\n
The difficult decision to postpone was based on the unpredictable climate and government advice that has left both our staff and crew members heartbroken. With the uncertainty surrounding the situation, we cannot put our volunteers or our attendees at risk.<\/p>\n
As a registered charity and not-for-profit organisation run completely by volunteers, we are proud of our resilient community in such times. Without our hardworking staff and crew, and you, our beloved attendees, SMASH! would not be able to exist. We hope that you will continue to support us when we come back with more exciting events in the future.<\/p>\n
