The
Next Meeting: Our next
meeting is on Monday 6th September at 7.30pm for 8pm when Bruce
Bennett will be talking to us on ‘The Wildflowers of Southern Cyprus’. Bruce
and his wife Sally have travelled extensively in Europe not only looking at flowers
but at the birds as well and recording them with his superb photographs. There will
be no monthly competition again as we are approaching the “tail-end” of the
competition year. But we expect to resume in November when we start our new “season”. This
meeting will be a little different from usual whilst we feel our way back to
normality. Most legal regulations will have been lifted and the emphasis is
now on personal responsibility. The hall
encourages us to have socially-distanced seating, but there is no longer a
maximum number permitted in the hall. So the seats will be spaced out a bit
more than usual, whilst still allowing for couples or people who have
‘bubbled’ to sit together. We will have
increased ventilation – its summer so having windows and an exit door open
should not be an issue. There will be a one-way system to prevent people
going out of the hall passing people queuing for entrance. The exit will be
through the fire door at the back of the hall. If you wish to use the
“bathroom”, you should either go before coming into the hall, or leave via
the exit route and back in again. At the end of the meeting, everyone will be
leaving so you can use the normal entrance doors. If possible,
please have the exact money ready (£2 for members, £3 for visitors, free for
children and students). We should be able to provide change if necessary, and
as far as possible this will be with clean untouched coins. We regret we
won’t have a card machine so you can’t pay by contactless card. If you are
totally cashless, it may be possible for you to pay online by prior
arrangement with the Treasurer. There will
be tea and coffee available along with a selection of individually wrapped
biscuits. Two people maximum in the kitchen please and don’t crowd the
serving area. We won’t have a raffle or a plant and photo competition for a while but are planning to bring the latter back in the autumn, albeit in a slightly different format.
