I hope you are all doing well and keeping safe. This is to inform everyone that the October meeting has been cancelled due to the government restrictions during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, we can\u2019t let a little thing like COVID-19 dampen our spirits and with this in mind I would like to propose an outdoor meeting in place of the traditional indoor one.<\/p>\n
October is a good month for fungi so I thought it might be a good idea to meet at Brockadale for a fungus foray. There is a \u2018rule of six\u2019 in place but generally there are only around 8 or so on a typical field meeting. Do feel free to come along and if there are more than six of us, we can split into groups for the walk round. I am of the opinion that being outdoors and with a bit of common sense with distancing, the likelihood of us spreading anything is minimal. The meeting is, of course, educational which should allow us to have an increased number.<\/p>\n
I am trying to reach a local fungi expert to guide us as we don\u2019t have anyone in the Society that feels able to lead us round. I propose we meet at 10:00 in the car park on Ley\u2019s Lane and the date I propose is Sunday 25th October. This is a little later than our normal meeting but it will be a better time for fungus hopefully and allows us to take stock of the situation before committing.<\/p>\n
I think it is fair to say that the November meeting will be cancelled too and replaced with an outdoor meet up but I will send notice of any changes at the end of October<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
