Coronavirus Update, 17/3/20

I am sure all of you will have seen the latest announcement by the Prime Minister and the Chief Medical Officer regarding the coronavirus and their advice about reducing social interaction for those in society over 70 and with underlying health conditions.  The advice is designed to help protect those people in society who are vulnerable and likely to be most affected by this virus.

It is with this in mind the Committee have had to take the decision to pause all Scarf activities and clubs with immediate effect.  We won’t be able to recommence our activities until we have been given medical advice to do so.  I know many of our youngsters will be disappointed by this decision, but I am sure you can you understand that we believe that this is the most sensible decision in order to help protect the health of our members.

As this closure is likely to extend for a period of months, I want to also confirm that our current plans for Easter are also being cancelled along with the planned AGM.

On behalf of the committee I want to wish you all the very best over the coming months, keep safe, look after each other and we look forward to seeing you all later in the year.

Best regards

The Scarf Committee
