Sunday's Competition Cancelled




Whilst the Government have not changed the orders under the Public Health Act, at present, they have made a general call to everyone to stay at home if possible.

Whilst we believe that the risks are low in holding the competition, given the exponential transmissions in the last couple of days, the committee have decided to cancel the competition applying the precautionary principle.

We also believe that it would be wrong to encourage people out of their homes where they might otherwise prefer to stay at home.

We are also thinking of many of our members and their families who are being hit hard by these events.  Some have been stood down and there is, what is looking like, a potentially severe economic downturn happening that we have not seen in generations.

Unlike many businesses, we can shut down and simply start again when the all clear is given.  If, by shutting down, we help limit the damage now being foisted upon many in our community and beyond, we believe that is the right thing to do.

To our sponsors, we will support you as best we all can during and after these events.

Keep well, self isolate if you can, even with no symptoms, and we will see you after this nasty bug has been and gone.
