Welcome to Spring and (hopefully) some brighter days ahead. As local restrictions begin to ease, we should keep in mind that some kind of normality will be a slow and steady process. In line with government steps one, two, three and four we will announce dates when we will be able to open up for various activities. Covid-19 will no doubt remain a part of our lives for the time being and we are going to have to do things differently in order to keep everyone safe. However, we will meet again as soon as it is possible to do so, safely. We’ll be in touch again soon, with updates. Until then, keep in touch and join up to some of our online activities detailed below and overleaf.
