A Secretarial Report for Autumn 2020

I trust you have all survived lockdown. What a way to celebrate the club’s 150 year with
th
virtually everything cancelled/postponed. Members not being able to meet and officers
wondering what might be possible in the future and when.

You will have had details of the Hampton Court ride arranged by Hunt and Pruffle and I
hope that some of you were able to meet on that day. With Covid case numbers rising again in
some areas, this was very much a “watch this space” event and hopefully was able to take
place.

What of the future? We have a booking at the Connaught Rooms for December 3 for the
rd
Garden Party and AGM. Whether either can take place we do not know at this stage. Your
officers are meeting at the beginning of October when hopefully we will know more. If we
cannot meet, the AGM could be run electronically. As already announced the postponed
celebration dinner is now arranged for 5 March 2021, still at the Skinners Hall, and we have
th
the usual booking in May for the President’s luncheon (13 ) when, as suggested for this year,
th
ladies will be welcome. In my opinion, for these events to take place with our usual numbers it
will need a vaccine to have been found.

In the meantime, in our sport we can at least go out for a ride unlike some hobbies that
need several other people. Football, cricket, and other team sports are starting up but with
strict rule changes.

Your officers will always hope to keep you advised and in the meantime please keep safe.

Best Wishes……Buzfuz / Hon. Sec.
