District 1200 Conference 2020 -Covid update

CONFERENCE POSTPONED UNTIL 17TH APRIL 2021
DISTRICT 1200 CONFERENCE 2020
We billed it as a conference with a difference - well, it's certainly that!
Having had so many of you say you were coming along, ironically we now have to say, for obvious reasons, please don't try and book the District handover or conference online!
However, the good news is that the committee has arranged for the conference to be postponed to Easter-time in 2021 (exact date to be confirmed) - keeping it as far away as possible from the next DG's own conference dates. Fingers crossed that by then we will have resumed some sort of normality.
Please make a note in your diaries, and most importantly, stay safe!With best wishes
Rory O'Donnell, DGE, and the 2020 District Conference Committee
