CARC Resume Meetings at Hut18

Posted: 15 Sep 2021 02:30 PM PDT https://carc.org.uk/2021/09/15/carc-resume-meetings-at-hut18/



The committee met last night via Zoom and top of our agenda was restarting
the twice-weekly meetings at Hut18. Since the last national lockdown restrictions were removed some 6 weeks ago, the statistics have beaten
even the most optimistic “expert” models. While COVID remains in wide circulation around the UK, hospital admissions remain relatively low and
the worst consequences of the virus even lower. The picture is even better
for the double vaccinated. This is excellent news and with booster jabs
being rolled out from early next week the committee voted to resume both Wednesday evening and Sunday morning meetings at Hut18.




Of course, this is not a time to be complacent and we will keep a keen eye
on the national and local situation going forward.




There are a few things that we can all do to keep each other safe:



Social distancing remains a key measure to help reduce transmission.
Wherever possible give each other space and be respectful if members want
more spaceVentilation. We will be keeping doors open for as long as the weather allowsMasks help protect others. While not mandatory, they are a
real demonstration of your concern for fellow membersTesting. Lateral Flow Tests (LFTs) are available to everyone free of charge from the NHS. Please consider using them before attending meetings.Reporting. If you test
positive for COVID in the days after attending a meeting, it is vital that
you report this to BOTH the NHS Test and Trace AND to CARC (chair@carc.org.uk)Signing in using the normal club book at the entrance is
now mandatory. This allows us to quickly inform all close contacts to
enable their testing if necessary.




I hope to see you at the club this Sunday 19th September, our first
Wednesday meeting will be on September 22nd with a talk on VHF NFD which
the club entered back in July. This will be available both in-person and
via Zoom to maximise participation, something we intend to continue going forward.
