Message from you Chairman:

Hi Troops, i have been in contact with Smudge ref: the 2021 reunion, and i have made the decision to postpone until we know where we are with the covid 19 situation. As you are all probably aware the further restrictions for another 6 months at least which will take us to March. As an Association we have a duty of care to all our members and it would not be safe to hold a reunion with things as they are. Many of our members are already classed as "High Risk", myself included and we are not able to do the 6 person bubble anyway. I hope that you all agree that this is the best step to take. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support for our Association through your membership subs, i have more renewal membership cards to send and they will be going out in the next couple of days.As always i wll keep us all up to date on the situation, please stay safe and hopefully this will be over soon.

Yours Aye Kev "Rhino".
