A MESSAGE FROM THE DC AND ASSISTANT DC
As you will probably be aware the Government has issued a new Tier system to help control the spread of coronavirus, especially in light of the new strand that has been identified.
Due to this we have made the difficult decision to cancel all activities with immediate effect.
The Area 11 Rep sent a message out to cancel all face-to-face activities which was posted on Facebook last night (19th Dec).
HQ also issued the notice regarding Tier 4 - we have members in Tiers 2 & 4 and as we are all in the same branch both Clare and myself feel a blanket ban on all activities is the safest way forward. We are so close to the Tier 4 boundary it's a risk we don't feel we can justify and the safety of our members and their families must be our priority. I know it's very disappointing but everyone's safety is the most important thing, especially at this time of year.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for supporting the branch over this trying year and I am sure we will be up and running again very soon.
In the meantime, have a great Christmas.
Stay safe.
Lisa Taylor (DC)
Sincere apologies for having to cancel the last two events of 2020. Hugely disappointing and upsetting it is a decision we have not made lightly. Lisa and I feel it is a sensible precaution in light of the government announcement and the new virus strand being rife locally.
Whilst many members live in Tier 2 areas others are sadly now under the strictest Tier 4 measures.
Hopefully the excitement of Christmas next week and schools having broken up will help to distract from understandable frustration and disappointment.
We will update you as soon as we are able to.
Season greetings for an alternative Christmas 🎄
I look forward to seeing you all in happier times in 2021
