Just touching bases on the Moot.
We've still got little idea if it's going to be able to go ahead or not but given that we have 3.5 months I'm hoping, along with many others that it's going to go ahead, I've been hesitant in promoting it for the last while due to the situation with the virus, the lockdown and the open ended nature of all that.
So, the plan at the moment is that we will be having the Moot rather than wait and see what's dictated us by circumstance, and jumping if we can do it, and moaning if we can't. It takes too long to pull the moot together to leave it to the last minute.
It's fair to say that even if the Moot goes ahead it might be a bit different this year, people circumstances could be vastly different to normal, so the format of the Moot might be a bit different, some might not be available to come or some might be more available than before, we might have distancing rules still in place (but be allowed to have the event, who knows) and things like that, we will create a schedule/programme around whatever we need to. I think though that the important thing is that if it's possible we all have a safe place that we can get together, get out in the open and enjoy ourselves.
The situation with taking money and refunds is still the same, if it's paypal it will incur the PayPal fees and if we refund it will be minus their fees but the full amount we receive, if it's a bank payment we can refund in full. Any money paid is safe. It's worth noting as well that if we get an official go ahead any tickets bought will not qualify for refund, we can refund if the event if cancelled because of issues beyond our control.
So, it's full steam ahead and we'll see where we end up, I might contact some of you to see if you're up for doing stuff or even if you're planning on coming, whatever helps me plan and organise things.
Thanks all
Tony
