Coronavirus

Melton Computer Clubs approach is to follow official UK government advice.

With the very slow progress in reducing the Covid infection rate we are still review-

ing future meetings. Having spoken to David Brown regarding the re-opening of the
Bowls club it is not clear when they will be in a position to do so.

In light of all the information at the moment we have cancelled the remaining meet-
ings for this year due to the new 6 person rules etc. We hope to get back to some
normality as early as possible in the new year. We will update you as soon as we

have any further information.

I am awaiting confirmation that the proposed dates for next years meetings are avail-
able and will publish them as soon as possible.

Stay safe and hope to resume soon.
