LindsD Mar 2020 7:18am, 27 Mar 2020 34,585 posts	Quote Pin LindsD Billy and I were discussing trying to move our May session to a centre closer to home - I go near work - but I think I'll leave it as it's a dedicated centre and it will be hygienic. We will just have to work out a clever way of getting there.

Will phone and ask where they want me to come. Usually do near work too, no point in travelling that far if there is somewhere closer. I can understand numbers would be down. Just priorities, disruption, travel and illness of course. Well done those who have been able to give. G

Probably a PW on the donating time , staff were actual quite concerned. Precautions were waiting outside before entering the hall. Chairs in waiting area spaced well apart and only 3 people allowed at any time at the tea table. Session was reasonably busy which was good. Was a good reason to get out. Plus the only social event of the entire weekend for me.
