An important development in the Whitby Gothic Weekend has taken place as we all know and a petition has gone online to try to regain the dates for TopMum.

Since many of you may have mailing lists of your own, or club websites. Myspace or facebook pages etc, then we would ask that you help to spread the word through those. The Whitby Gothic Weekend is one of Europes longest running festivals and as such we feel that we should, as a community, do what we can to help save it.

Even if you don't sign, please help us to spread the word to allow others to make up their mind.

This is open for anyone to sign, even international people since the festival is attract people worldwide.

Thanks
