Realistically, my guess is that will be until there is no<br>community transmission for at least a month but probably more, in<br>Queensland at least, but more likely all of Australia.<br><br>As I enjoy our fortnightly social events I will probably try to arrange<br>another venue but realistically these sorts of restrictions are going<br>to crop up everywhere, so it will probably have to be a someone's<br>house. Even if I do manage to do that, we will have to comply with<br>Queensland's covoid-19 restrictions. That means if groups of 20 or<br>more are banned in the south east, even a humbug at a house won't be<br>possible.<br><br>This also means holding the AGM becomes difficult. People, please let<br>me know your thoughts on what we should do. If the current exec is<br>happy to continue for another year, simply not holding one seems to be<br>to be a pragmatic option. I am happy to continue on. Could the other<br>Exec members please let me know whether they are happy to stay on for<br>another year. <br><br><br><br>-- <br>Regards,<br>Russell Stuart<br>Secretary, Humbug, <a href="http://www.humbug.org.au" target="_blank">http://www.humbug.org.au</a><br>+61 438 805 133<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Admin mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Admin@lists.humbug.org.au" target="_blank">Admin@lists.humbug.org.au</a><br><a href="http://lists.humbug.org.au/mailman/listinfo/admin" target="_blank">http://lists.humbug.org.au/mailman/listinfo/admin</a><br></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div></div><br></body></html>
