This is a conclusion that I am gradually coming to.
I am a trustee of our village hall. We are now scheduled to re-open - well, accept bookings - from August 3rd. I have just been sent a copy of the information "sheet" of guidance for procedures to be followed when re-opening village halls and other similar premises. The "sheet" is 29 pages long with, I think, 23 linked attachments.
I am a member of several organisations, I cannot see them - and me - getting back to any where near what used to pass for normality, at least, until an effective vaccine has been developed and administered.
Therefore, if I cannot go to, say, Probus for a year or more, then why renew subscriptions and remain a member?
