Camera Clubs and Coronavirus
Things for children seem to be carrying on as normal.
But Dorset has only just had it's first confirmed case, so it could all change very quickly.

In summary, any non-essential gathering of people is to be avoided and there's no need to wait for organisers to cancel - just don't go.

Given that we`ve (only) had 4 deaths so far, this may be a little over the top, but I guess better that, than the alternatives.
We also have the potential for chaos if this gets onto the refugee camps - it doesn`t bear thinking about

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Every day's a holiday!
Now, is reviewing a few photos worth the potential risk of losing your life? Of course not.
OTOH, the Photo Group will still try to "keep things ticking along" by having on-line competitions using facilities like Google Photos.
In that vein, does anyone know of free, or cheap-to-run, webinar or other services that we might be able to use as we would like to be able to have interactive sessions where members could comment in "real time" on presentations that we already have lined up for the coming months?
NB: not being a video blogger, or following those who are, I know little about the possibilities in that area!
It's the responsibility of all of us to stop this virus, nobody is going to stop it for us. Even if the administrators of your camera club don't close their doors, it would be grossly irresponsible to turn up. You may remember the phrase "Leave means leave." from recent events, well here in Spain it's been replaced by "Lockdown means lockdown". We are only allowed on the roads to go to/from food shops, hospitals, doctors, garages, and tobacconists . All bars, restaurants, golf clubs, cinemas, theatres, etc. have been ordered to close for 15 days.

Very smart move, timing is critical, the sooner you isolate, the less the spread. China set a good example and we have yet to see sense.
