Statement by the District Regarding the District Forum Meeting on 17th March.
The guidance given by Rotary GB&I
on the Covid-19 outbreak and the holding of meetings has been reviewed by the
District Executive and it has been decided to use their discretion and postpone
the District Forum that was to have been held on Tuesday 17th March. Less than
half of the Clubs in the District have as yet indicated their intentions of
attending or not and some Rotarians have decided already not to attend,
specifically for health reasons. There are many elderly Rotarians who we would
hate to potentially put at risk should they decide to attend.
The meeting will be held, as the
Rotary GB&I Bylaws require Districts to hold at least 3 such Meetings each
Rotary year. No date has been determined as to when to hold this meeting nor has
it been decided on the circulation of the agenda, minutes and reports.
Information will be circulated in due course when these decisions have been
made.
