Cancellation Geddes Dinner

Dear Victorian Scheyvillians, I am writing to let you know that, after careful consideration of current medical and government advice on limiting exposure to the Coronavirus, especially for people in our age group, the decision has been taken to cancel the 26 March Geddes Dinner.

Refunds will be made to those who have already accepted and paid.

As this is a significant element of the Victorian Chapter’s calendar consideration will be given to rescheduling the Dinner to a date later in the year.

The cancellation is most unfortunate but very much in the interest of our members.

Yours faithfully,

Frank Miller
Chairman,
Victorian Chapter, OTU Association.

Gentlemen,

At present acceptances total 15.

Admittedly, the RSVP date is 19 March which is still a week away.
