Caroline thanked everyone for coming along and explained our more stringent COVID measures.

Continuing with Hands, Space, Face along with a recommended Lateral Flow Test. We are sticking to table service for teas and coffees and masks worn when moving about. As it happens, all members kept their masks on throughout the quiz until teas were served.
