CORONAVIRUS and the current programme for 2020 - 2021

The demographic of our Society is such that the majority of Members are in the 'at risk' category and so it has been decided to suspend the lecture programme until April 2021. If by late June, the risk of contracting Covid -19 is sufficiently diminished and we are able, finally, to hold an Evening Celebration with drinks, canapes and a lecture, then it truly will be something to celebrate!

Meanwhile, the committee aims to keep in regular contact with Members by sending links to items of interest online, such as lectures, details of educational courses offered by museums and art galleries and information on cultural activities taking place in our area or further afield. This is in the form of a newsletter which is prepared by a different member of the Committee each month. It was established in June that the majority of the membership were not keen in participating in Zoom lectures, but for those who are interested, Sherborne and Nadder Valley Societies frequently invite our members to join in with their Zoom lecture programme.

We look forward very much to seeing everyone again in the spring, meanwhile keep cheerful and above all, stay safe throughout the coming weeks.
