Boys at the Bull Postponed June 17, 2022

Regretfully,  I’m having to postpone the event at the Bull Inn this Saturday and the morning visit to Barkston.

Yesterday afternoon , Denise came home from work not feeling too well…she’s taken a few lateral flow tests  confirming that she’s got the dreaded Covid virus.  She’s been in bed most of today with a high temperature and head-cold like symptoms but thankfully she hasn’t’ been dreadfully ill.  I’ve taken 3 tests myself and I’m still free of it – for now!   We’ve been taking special precautions in order to avoid contact with each other, but, I’m not sure if I’ll avoid  getting it too.

I’ve consulted the NHS website and the advice is that Denise needs now to stay at home for a minimum of 5 days which will take her to beyond the Saturday date.  I could do the show without her, but the same NHS advice is  that I should avoid contact with others which are outside the household especially in crowded conditions or indoors.  So, as you’d agree I would find this dificult to do at the Bull Inn.   I know this is all offered as advice by the NHS and it is not the law, but with the majority of our tent being elderly and with some being quite vulnerable, I know that it’s the responsible approach  to postpone.    Also, i recognise that it would be unfair to ask Paul or Martin to stand in.  So, indeed, I’m gutted.  I apologise for any inconvenience that this may have caused and I hope that this relatively early notification will not lead to it spoiling your weekend.

At the moment I’m trying re-arrange another date with the Bull Inn which will be in the not too distant future.  I’m trying to target  a  Saturday between mid-July to mid-August .  I will let you know as soon as I know what’s what  but I’m hoping that we can maintain the same programme and that you can still attend.

Whatever, we will still have our usual film show at the Bridge Inn on Weds 20th July.

Fraternally Yours,
