The response to my earlier email about next season showed that there is still significant doubt that the dancing we know and enjoy will be possible in safety for a good time yet to come; whilst one or two respondents were in favour of a “wait and see” approach, the overwhelming majority felt that it would be unsafe to resume dancing until we knew there was a tried and tested prevention or cure for the virus and this is thought to be a good way off.  Thus, the 2020/2021 season will not go ahead – it is cancelled in its entirety.

Looking to the future on a more positive note, if there are significant signs of an improved situation, I for one will be seeking ways to restart dancing on an ad-hoc basis and I will solicit support for this if and when it happens.

Looking farther ahead though, I am provisionally booking Samlesbury Memorial Hall to restart our sessions on second Sundays from Sunday 10 October 2021; I hope and pray this will be possible!

Until then, stay safe and keep well.
