Both me and Mrs Scrumpy are in the high-risk group and hearing that there are only 5000 ventilators in the UK was the game-changer for us! Based on the government's assertion that a fifth of all infected citizens will be high-risk, the supply of ventilators will run out around the time when the virus claims 25000 victims - and that won't take long. SO... we are now in partial - working towards full - self-isolation - SEE MY NEXT POST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpymike Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 POSTPONEMENT CONFIRMATION With much regret - but no hesitation - I hereby confirm that the 2020 Big Fat South-West Bass Bash is postponed until (hopefully) later this year. I will talk to our hall manager today to establish the position re fees already paid and try to book a provisional date for Autumn. Thanks to all who have offered financial support, but I am hopeful that neither us Scrumpies nor you very fine and generous people will lose out. WATCH THIS SPACE!

Chienmortbb Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I am sure this is the right decision . I would have had to give it a miss being in the at risk group. Look forward to it later in the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Blank Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 @scrumpymike don’t be out of pocket with the cancelling of the hall, let us know if that’s even a possibility and I’m sure I can speak for others by saying we can chip in and cover it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
