President's Corner

 

I must admit that, after so long a period of lockdown, it is becoming a little difficult to know what to say! But perhaps we are now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, although I am sure that all of you will be making your own risk assessments about how rapidly you want to return to normal social life. That seems only sensible, because we are all in different circumstances.

However, I hope that will not deter you from attending what will be our first Cavalier reunion for two and a half years, and something to which I am sure you, like me, will be much looking forward to. It should be a joyful occasion, if sadly tinged with sadness for those who have crossed the bar since we last met.

I would like to thank Tony Cox and his all the members of his committee for keeping the show on the road and Cavalier Capers in our post boxes during the lockdown, and for so determinedly looking for the chance to hold a reunion and for finding a new organiser for it who seems to be both enthusiastic and capable. We all owe them a hearty vote of gratitude for their efforts. I am sure that it will be a splendid occasion and I hope to see as many as possible of you at Bristol at the beginning of October.

Meanwhile, stay safe and well.


Jeremy Blackham
