Corona virus update
You will have seen from national TV, e-mails from the supermarkets’ Chief Executives and local sources that all the big supermarkets are now providing priority shopping hours for seniors and NHS personnel. The times vary from supermarket to supermarket and the situation changes almost on a daily basis. Rather than attempt to track these here, please use an excellent local information source the Crowborough life website.
Local supermarkets’ priority opening for Seniors
In case you’ve encountered this in your local supermarket here are some that are offering priority shopping periods for seniors.
Useful local information
There’s a lot of information on the coronavirus and assistance available on national websites. With the majority of our members in the Crowborough area, we’re going to use the club website as a noticeboard for news items and community information which may be of interest whilst we all cope with self-isolation and other government advice/instruction.

President’s lunch 2020
Owing to the continuing concern relating to the spread of the coronavirus, it has been decided to postpone the forthcoming President’s lunch on March
30th and reschedule this event to Monday 10th August.
The decision to postpone this function is based on the uncertainty of how this viral infection will spread over the next few weeks and months and as the age profile of our club is in the higher risk category, as defined by the government, it does not seem wise to proceed and place us all at risk, as the virus is obviously very contagious and still in the early stages of its life.
