 COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS

In anticipation that the level of infection continues to fall, we are planning to resume our meetings in September, with the AGM followed by a talk.

We plan to use the large hall at the ARC so that we can maintain good separation.We will start our meeting later than usual, to ensure that the venue is clear.

Please do not arrive before 2:40 pm.

We are sorry that will not be able to use the kitchen facility so you may wish to bring your own flask of tea.

If circumstances change, we will, of course, have no hesitation in cancelling meetings.
