Thought for the day :"With great power comes great electricity bill..."
Today I am cancelling the Monday meeting for the Royal Ark Mariners, a day where we had a candidate and were also going to dedicate the new Honours Board.. However, the latest advice from the centre suggests that it is time to think about our own safety.
Latest information from MMH -

(13th March 2020)
The above-average age profile of our membership means that there is a higher risk posed to our more elderly members which is why we have decided to strengthen our existing advice beyond that issued by Public Health England.
▪ Members over the age of 65 and those with hypertension, heart disease, lung disease or diabetes should not attend masonic meetings for the foreseeable future.
▪ Masonic meetings may still go ahead at the discretion of the members but those over 65 or those with health problems should not attend.
▪ If a Unit decides to postpone a meeting to a later date, a Dispensation will be required from the Provincial Grand Master (or equivalent) for which no charge will be made. If, after issuing a summons, a meeting has to be abandoned due to insufficient attendance, a note must be entered in the Minute Book stating that ‘the Regular Meeting of the Lodge on [insert date] was duly called but abandoned due to the incidence of coronavirus’.
▪ With effect from next Monday, 16 March 2020, meetings of over 100 members should not take place, until further notice.
▪ Check on the more elderly and vulnerable members of your Units, especially those that live alone, remembering that a phone call is probably safest for them rather than visiting in person.

And as the toilet roll panic buy continues ...
We are heading for Tenby today to pick up a Welsh Dresser that Susie has bought for the new kitchen.
Hoping it will fit int he small trailer so I don't have to empty the big one - though that is on the task list for the weekend...
Could be a few more hours scanning later today ...
Cheers !!
