COVID UPDATE

COVID 19 Update
Hello everyone,
See below from East Suffolk District Council, confirming Suffolk is in Tier 2.
It looks very much as though we will not be able to open, only possibility may be people from the same household, even if this were possible it would not be economically sensible and impossible to police. If in 3 weeks time when our Tier Level could go back to One it would only be a few days before we are due to close for two weeks over the festive period.
Unless I have misread the situation it would sadly look as though we will be closed until at least January 4th.
I and the Committee wish all our members a safe and enjoyable Christmas period. Be careful and lets look forward to a better 2021.

Graham Catchpole , Chairman
