Re: The Coronavirus Pandemic – COVID-19
The marvellous news that not just one or two but now three vaccines have been developed and authorised. Inoculations are starting to be carried out which is very encouraging news for everyone. The coronavirus vaccine rollout is a major challenge and obviously we cannot all receive a vaccination in just a few days, but the time scale the government plans to vaccinate the population gives us hope that life can return to some form of normality soon and hopefully our social meetings and some shows can begin once again.
It is encouraging that many of our member societies have renewed and confirmed their 2021 Affiliation but there are still a number who have yet to reply. Remember fees have been waived for current members this year. It`s clearly understood that societies cannot yet complete their Diaries, although many have, but the news of the vaccines should soon put most of the uncertainties behind us. We should soon be able to look forward to a much brighter 2021 and beyond, and enjoy our gardens and allotments once again.
Our NHS deserve all of the praise we can give but we should not forget the scientists in their laboratories who have worked so hard creating the vaccines. But please, we must all remain vigilant and `follow the rules`, but until then
Please Stay Safe
