HEREFORDSHIRE WOODTURNERS COVID-19

UPDATE MAY 2020

I hope that all members are well and have either avoided the infection or have recovered from it.

Whilst the lockdown is being relaxed the government’s social distancing recommendations  mean the club cannot gather for the meetings planned for May 28th  and June 25th 2020.  

 These meetings are cancelled.

The effects of the epidemic and particularly the measures being taken to combat it mean that we are unlikely to return to anything like regular meetings for many months.   It is likely that the July and August meetings, and perhaps more, will be  cancelled too.   We had planned to have a site at the The Three Counties Show but it is cancelled and there must be some doubt as to whether  the Autumn Show will take place. 

On a more positive note there have been some ‘virtual’ demonstrations via Zoom online of which Peter Dennis has informed you.

 The committee is intending to hold its scheduled meeting in early June online.    Included on the agenda will be  a consideration of arranging club online demonstrations for members to view.   We shall also discuss a proposal for the club membership subscriptions paid for 2020 to be wholly or partially  transferred to 2021.

I am keen that the club continues to function, at least to a limited extent, during the next few months and will keep you informed about plans we make.  

 This epidemic is serious.  Many of our members and their families are vulnerable to the infection.    Our first responsibility is to consider  your safety in any arrangements we may make.     I hope you remain well and can continue turning.

 Remember scrupulous attention to hand washing.

 If self isolating, where better than the workshop?

 Best wishes

 Peter Harper

Chairman, HWT
