Week 42 finished off very quietly without the phone ringing at all. This provided me with an opportunity to catch up on some Group administration, primarily producing photo ID passes that will be issued shortly.

Volunteer Safety
I would like to take this opportunity to once again remind volunteers to adhere to the guidelines in respect of protecting themselves and others whilst conducting jobs. The new strain(s) of Covid-19 are particularly rampart as highlighted in the national news. Please ensure that appropriate protective measures are taken, as well as respecting confidentiality.
Take care, Stay Safe and have a good week – Andy, Jim, Linda, Liam, Kev, Jonathan, Foxy and Joseph 👍
‘Long COVID’ – An interesting and poignant article.
