Club Events and Pub Meets
review
As the Covid-19 restrictions are starting to be eased in the UK and Ireland, the
Directors realise that members will be very keen to know when they can attend
their local pub meetings and other Club events.
The Board would like to state that whilst they note the Governments of the UK,
Ireland and the devolved nations are all adjusting their lockdown measures in
different ways and with varying timescales, there is still one overarching and
consistent message; they all currently prohibit large gatherings.
Therefore, at its meeting on Sunday, 5th July, the Board of Directors agreed to
maintain its position that all pub meetings and Club events remain cancelled
until further notice. However, the Board acknowledges the situation could
change when government ministers review restrictions over the coming months
and the Directors will make appropriate announcements and take the necessary
next steps.
The Directors would like to thank you for your patience and understanding and
they will continue to review this position regularly. Please be assured the Board
will do all they can to ensure that as soon as it is safe to do so, pub meetings and
other Club events will be resumed.
