Elizabeth1 has missed a lot of our fish-and-chips at the Tailend recently, but is now well enough to join us again. Unfortunately, the Tailend is definitely not wheelchair-friendly, with various sets of steps to negotiate. But all is not lost! We plan to meet in April at The Dolls House (still in St Andrews), instead.

How about the week beginning 13th April? Could those who would like to come let me know the days that are impossible for you and I will cross them off, then book a day that (fingers crossed) suits everyone. Do bear in mind, though, that for some it will involve quite a bit of travelling on possibly crowded public transport, and by then that may not be advisable for the older and/or more vulnerable of us, so it may have to be cancelled.

All the predictions are that there will be progressively more cases until the peak is reached and numbers start to fall. I can't see that happening in five weeks, but if leaving it open until we are sure gives something still to look forward to, perhaps waiting is the way to go.

Sadly I feel the responsible thing to do is to postpone the meet until our present crisis is over.

I agree. There's no rush, and we'll still have it to look forward to. It would be wrong to put anyone's health in jeopardy just because we fancied a blether and a posh lunch.

Never mind St Andrews, the bus and train will be full of people coughing and spluttering! I do think that by then we won't consider it a good idea - but as you say, we can continue to look forward to it until it is obvious that it is time to call a halt.

I read the title and wondered what on Earth you were thinking of - considering the current advice. It's not about to just blow over in a month or two!

Ladies I'm so sorry that you won't be having your lunch, I know how much we all look forward to them. sad

However, you need to keep yourselves safe, so a wise decision.
