Dear Members

Following further consultation and information from the Arts Society we have decided to cancel next week’s lecture. So many other events are being cancelled around the country, it is felt that it would be too risky to go ahead. I have heard from at least one member that the earlier notice had gone to her Junk Mail, so please check with your friends that they have seen this message. Also check with friends who may not use the internet that they are aware.
Our Programme Secretary is in touch with the lecturer and we will rebook her in the future. Given the seriousness of the situation I hope you will all understand. The decision has not been taken lightly. It may be that we also have to cancel the April lecture and the lunch. Those who have already bought a ticket will be refunded. Watch this space!
Look after yourselves and keep well.
On behalf of the committee
Marie-Paule Sheard
Chair
