We are planning a programme of 6 lectures this autumn, September to December, which mirrors what we normally do each year. Brian Bull, SA&HS Lecture Programme Secretary, is currently putting things into place and full details should be available for the next Newsletter to be issued on 1st September. All these 6 lectures, so leading up to the Christmas period, and including the 2021 AGM 62 on Friday 3rd December, will be presented once again via the means of Zoom. This decision to continue just with Zoom has not been taken lightly. Despite Government announcement this week of a return to a measure of normality on 19th July involving the removal of mandatory restrictions in England, we consider the uncertainties and concerns surrounding everything for the moment to be too significant. Caution has to remain the watchword. Current thinking on our part is that we will look to a possible return to presenting at the Guildhall in Lichfield from January 2022 onwards, if we consider it appropriate [and above all practical] to do so, though with the occasional Zoom lecture mixed in, as extras. This is our hope anyway.
You may wish to voice your opinion on our continuing use of Zoom for the time being. By all means provide us with your feedback. It's best please if you can email by return. Anything and all you've got to say will be noted. It will be appreciated. Thank you.
Kind regards
Keith Billington
