I have spoken at length with the organising committee regarding this year’s annual Doncaster gathering. I have also spoken at length to the venue and been in touch with our meal location etc.
Now we could possibly work something out regarding the venue given the current government restrictions regarding gatherings, social distancing, however, after much soul searching We have taken the very difficult decision to cancel this year’s event. We have arrived at this decision primarily because of the health situation and the possible risk to some of our good friends. In addition we decided we needed to be fair to all potential attendees, especially our good friends from abroad. We do not know how things will pan out over the coming weeks, and do not want to be in a situation where we are forced to cancel at a later date when flights have been paid for, travel arrangements made etc. There does seem to be an increase in infections of late and we believe that this is the safest and most sensible option.
I appreciate that this will be a big disappointment to all who were planning on attending, especially after such a bad year, but I hope that you all understand why we have had to make this tough call.
I would like to personally apologise for the inconvenience this will cause and I sincerely hope that this does not leave anyone out of pocket.
We will have to make sure that next years event is bigger, brighter and better and that we can have a record number of friends old and new attending.
Thank you...
