Coronavirus Impact 17/3/20

​As you will no doubt be aware the UK Government this week considereably strengthened its advice in relation to the current Coronaviris outbreak, and now recommends that everyone in the UK acts to reduce all forms of social contact as much as possible.

As a result of these recommendations most if not all of the events on this calendar are now highly likley to be either cancelled or postponed - when to take such decisions is down to individual organisers, but almost certainly any event scheduled for before the end of June will be at high risk of rescheduling or cancellation in 2020. 

​Given the large number of changes being implemented by organisers at the present time we are unlikely to be able to maintain this caneldar with any real degree of accuracy for at least a few months.   As such therefore, please check with the individual event organiser or on each events website or Facebook page before committing to attend.
