But what of our members and member clubs have all our players come through this unscathed and after a year if sitting in front of the telly do they have the enthusiasm or good health to venture out on a Tuesday night once more?

Will all our venues reopen and will they welcome us considering social distancing restrictions will probably have to be observed for some time?

What of our officers and captains will they return?

When this all started I said I would do everything I could to restart the League I didn’t want it all to end on my watch, I still feel that way but to do so I will need the help of all members.

The dark times are not going away in the near future and very careful planing will have to take place for us to be ready when they do. Personally I think we should plan for a restart in September, for what would be the normal beginning of the 2021/2 winter competition. I had considered a presentation dance in July but that would be too soon and organizing it without regular committee meetings would prove imposable.

I now need feedback from the clubs, is this all a pipe dream or are we going to show this decease we will not give up our way of life to it.

Please call, text or email me with your thoughts we need to be on top of this, we also need something to look forward to.

My normal problem contacting Vic Hart and Gerald Bright, both without computer and therefore access to Facebook and the website, exists. I will send this as a message to there mobile numbers and hopefully they will get it but perhaps somebody could show them a copy.

Kind regards Colin.
