ANNOUNCEMENT
BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
OF
THE LEATHERHEAD & DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY
In view of the Covid-19 virus outbreak and its potential impact on our
membership makeup, the Society has decided to cease our open activities for the
time being. We are unable to suggest for how long this will be.
Our Annual General Meeting and talk on 20 March:
The AGM is now postponed to a date yet to be confirmed. If circumstances
require, it may be conducted remotely as allowed for in the Constitution. The scheduled
talk will be carried forward to another date.
Our monthly talk meetings on 17 April and 15 May:
These are both cancelled but we plan to revive them at a later date.
In conjunction with the Friends of the Museum and those closely engaged
on Museum affairs, the followings actions have been agreed. The Museum will NOT
re-open to the public as scheduled on Thursday, 2 April and there will be no
formal unveiling on Saturday, 4 April.
These decisions
will all be reviewed frequently.
Society involvement with local archaeology:
No decision has yet been taken on the resumption of last year’s digs at
Rowhurst as this involves agreement with partner organisations.
Outreach events such as Resident Association days, Heritage week etc:
No decision has yet been taken on these as they are too far in the
future.
We naturally hope that everyone connected with the Society and Leatherhead Museum
