Corona Virus & ESAS Meetings

Due to rising concerns about the Covid-19 Omicron variant, the East Sussex AS committee has decided unanimously that in the current changing situation, we can no longer safely hold our meetings face to face. Some meetings have been postponed or re-scheduled. See below for details.  However, we are continuing with live Zoom meetings for the foreseeable future at 8 pm on the 1st Thursday of each month.  Zoom invites will be emailed to members.

We will be producing the monthly Albedo newsletter as usual and will keep you informed on future ESAS developments by email (members only), website, Facebook and Albedo newsletter.

Stay safe and we hope to see you at an ESAS meeting soon.

Kind Regards,
Doug Edworthy
Chairman, East SussexAS
