It would be useful if everyone who is coming could confirm that they are still coming to get some idea of numbers, in these difficult times club members and their family and friends get priority but if we have spare capacity I could invite some of the neighbours and try to keep everyone happy.

Still like to come but the current coronavirus locally and nationally situation is worrying and it may be best if I do not come.

Any idea of how many people will be going on Saturday?  If there is going to be more than 30 I am prepared to give it a miss.  The coronavirus situation is looking very bleak at the moment and where I live is still under restrictions regarding meeting other people in their home or garden.

I very much regret that I don't think I will be able to make it ... I am out during the daytime and not likely to be back to later .... If I turn up I only count as half a person anyway  :silly:

We're still up for this, let us know if you need help sorting things as the week progresses..

It is with a very heavy heart that I am going to have to cancel this weekend, mainly due to hostility of some of the neighbours  because of the rise in New cases plus some other issues.
We could plan to do it in a month's time or leave it until spring, most of the preparation is done,so could pick it up easily.
One problem is that I have to collect the pig tomorrow as it has already been slaughtered, I can freeze it but will have to cut it up to get it in the freezer, may have to be a modified spit roast,but suppose it will taste the same.
I would appreciate any feedback about changing the date.

Sorry about the lack of notice but I was hoping things would sort themselves out.

Sorry to hear about this, Doug.  It is impossible to make plans at a time like this and I fully understand your decision.  I was unsure about whether or not I should come myself due to the situation.  I am not working next Thursday (the 17th) so I will be along for the weekly trip (coronavirus permitting).
I suggest leaving it until May next year, remember the brilliant weather we had in May this year and hopefully we will have a vaccine by then.

Freeze the pig and think about it again next year some time ....

Les has suggested doing it for the AGM sounds like a plan to me, what do you think.
