THE ACTIVE BLACK COUNTRY 41 (EX-ROUND TABLE) CLUB(Meetings Arranged)

**** Future ABC 41-CLUB MEETING NIGHTS ****

Guidance to Members: As the Corona (or CoVid-19 to give it its proper name) virus continues to escalate, in common with other bodies we are issuing the following urgent guidance above and beyond that issued by Public Health England and equivalent bodies in other parts of the UK and the Irish Republic. This is due to the main age demographic of our membership being in a significantly higher risk group. COVID-19 more severely affects older people (65+) and those with pre-existing medical conditions (such as high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes). If you or a family member are showing signs of illness, please do not attend your Club meetings and follow the guidance below. We recommend that members consider refraining from actual physical contact with one another. Wash hands thoroughly before and after meetings for 20 seconds with hot water. Any member who feels unwell should follow the advice from the various public health websites. If a member is known to have been infected with CoVid-19, then it is standard policy for the relevant Health Authority to contact all those with whom he has been in contact. If you are worried about a fellow member please keep in contact with them via the phone and text to keep an eye on their wellbeing.

**** MAIN A.B.C. 41-CLUB REGULAR MEETING NIGHT **** TONIGHT CANCELLED COMPLYING WITH OUR PRIME MINISTER'S DIRECTIVE THIS AFTERNOON. 16th March 2020 from 7:30pm In the light of the latest Government guidance.. Tonights event is cancelled as you know. I imagine that it is pointless to plan a meeting in April and possibly May as well. We should keep it under review. I would propose that the organising calender be shifted until we can restart. So the next meeting should be Snooker as per tonight (unless Jonathan has a better idea in the meantime) Keep well everyone! YIABC Martin Sent from mobile Best Email Comment of the night: "Bugger and I went washed my hands for the first time this month" P.J.

ABC upcoming meetings rota FUTURE MEETINGS ARE HEREBY SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Complying with the UK Prime Ministers directive 5pm Monday 16th March 2020 we will NOT arrange to meet together until our Government says this is an acceptable activity. Hope you all are keeping well for the coming months. If anyone needs help please do contact club members by telephone or email.
