Having now done some research, Mr Nash was merely a person contacted by the organisers to obtain planning for change of use.
Lapland New Forest Director is Victor Mears and according to Companies House their address is:-
Unit 1, Wild Park House,
Home Farm Road,
Brighton,
East Sussex BN1 9HT

Trying to get tel details etc

Don't you people understand?!! I cannot believe so many of you are moaning saying "how can this rip off be allowed" - this is BRITAIN! I can't believe you are all so THICK and so TRUSTING of a country which cannot/will not look after it's people but rather bends over to let Europe have it's wicked way with it!!! All thanks to Labout - face it, you have been conned and you cannot run to anyone for help coz NOBODY cares except us taxpaying hardworking people. Our leaders have no backbone for fear of the PC brigade... and we are left with lapland cons and the like whereby we have no leg to stand on. We have no laws to protect people in situations like this - we are a disgrace due to Labour's horrid rule since '97 and the laughing stock - do NOT look to the "authorities" (excuse me for laughing) to protect us hardworking people, the kids hearts WILL break, Christmas as ever will become a playground for greedy conmen selling us piles of rubbish - it's the same every year - factories in China (sweatshops) plugging out tons of useless plastic rubbish we wrap up for Xmas day... this Lapland rubbish is the same! Why bother going? Xmas is about Jesus anyway (oh no!! Did I actually say the "J" word... quick, censor me!!!) but we don't want to know about that, especially in modern UK in case we offend terrorists etc.. so we stick to the Father Xmas nonsense, lapland, huskeys, God knows what else... then you get conned and you cant understand "how" it's allowed to happen? Do you have faith in your local council? Govt? Mr Brown? That awful party called Labour? The UK has no laws to stop this thing happening... sorry.. live with your mistakes, next time you wont be so quick to rush off and pay for the kids to learn "magical tosh" - maybe take them to church once in a while or something (oops I said it again). If you are bringing kids into this world, you need to smarten up, for their sakes. Either that or go round to the guy's house who started it (address in Brighton can be found on this thread) and beat him up with a pitchfork/set fire to his dog or something.

OMG you are RIGHT

This is ALL Mr Brown's fault

Bombing Iraq and now shit reindeers

Still thinking of turning up xmas Eve if only to strangle their scanky santa and the paedo looking elves HO HO HO

morningpaper · 02/12/2008 18:29

paedo elves hahahha

wannaBe · 02/12/2008 18:33

And that was a party political broadcast brought to you by the monster raving pitchfork party.

A friend's cousin had booked tickets, but when she called she was told they were no longer able to accept credit card payments and she would have to send a cheque. ve dodgy.

4under3 · 02/12/2008 18:34

Just been apologising to the rugrats for Mummy being a cheapskate and now have been talked around to going to the real Lapland next year,instead of some hole in the middle of dorset

4under3 · 02/12/2008 18:42

I feel for the people who have booked hotels which I will add the park recommended,thankfully I declined as we only live a couple of hours away but some people were travelling from miles away,even large coach parties of social and sports clubs,its fantastically amazing how so many of us were conned but a few grubby fairground workers,but someones going to have a very merry xmas courtesy of all our money.

4under3 · 02/12/2008 18:43

Bastards,why can`t I have any good ideas like that

wannaBe · 02/12/2008 18:43

have just read on a different website that an announcement is expected tomorrow that the place is to be closed.

AdventCandleQueen · 02/12/2008 18:50

I feel so sad for all the people ripped off by this scam.

4under3 · 02/12/2008 18:53

luckily kids took the news of it rather well showed them the real website pics of Lapland let them watch the breakfast news and all four were practically begging not to go

AdventCandleQueen · 02/12/2008 18:56

Not being funny, but wasn't "Seamus the Elf" a clue?

4under3 · 02/12/2008 18:58

I didn`t want to say but I know exactly what you mean

wannaBe · 02/12/2008 19:01

ey?

4under3 · 02/12/2008 19:01

AdventCandleQueen · 02/12/2008 19:31

There's a huge "community" around Brighton & Hove

duckyfuzz · 02/12/2008 19:42
