Clubs restarting?
Bill21:
Due to a huge increase in Covid infections our December meeting is currently “under review”. A wise precaution and no point in having a meeting with only half a dozen members present. It will be interesting to see how many turn up if it does go ahead.
Tim Pettigrew:
Herts & Beds had a good Christmas Social last Tuesday but numbers were down from 39 at November's meeting to 21 at this one. However we are gaining new members at each meeting. We're back to a live demo from Gary Rance on the 11th Jan.

We had 20 members turn up for our meeting. 18 confirmed that they took a LF test before attending and one of the two that didn’t left not long after arriving. All wore masks throughout the meeting.
I expect members may be asked to do the same next month.
The Bowler Hatted Turner:
I think it will be a very long time before things get back to normal, if they ever do. What we need to do is live life the best way we can and that includes club meetings. Take all of the precautions that are sensible, adhere to the government advice and then testing and wearing masks will just become second nature. In the summer you can have outside meetings which will reduce the risks even further but one of the biggest risks it to our mental health if we let this pandemic get on top of us. No pressure should be applied to anyone, so if they want to wear a mask let them, if members want to meet up again, good on yer! But just be careful. Keep building on your skills at the lathe as the biggest tragedy would be the loss of those skills.
Just my very humble opinion.
