Harrow U3A Important Announcement
Coronavirus – Covid19
During the Covid19 crisis we had closed classes at Harrow Arts Centre and in people’s homes. However, HAC is now open for business and we will be looking to start up some classes there as soon as possible. Other classes will continue to operate either by Zoom or by email or a combination of both. Full details are on our diary page.

CHAIRMAN'S AUTUMN MESSAGE
We face unprecedented times with the challenge of Covid19. Most of us are vulnerable to the virus and have been self-isolating. Government advice is that shielding in England has been paused and that if you have been shielding, you should now adhere to strict social distancing, rather than full shielding measures. This includes keeping two metres or three steps away from other people outside your home, whenever possible, and limiting the number of people you meet, shops you visit and non-essential journeys you make. I would suggest that people remain extremely cautious. Although the number of cases has gone down, Covid19 has not disappeared.
We are very pleased that Harrow Arts Centre is re-opening on 7th September, and now we need to meet the challenge. Groups and group leaders are making up their own minds as to whether to return and you will need to consult the diary to find out which are doing so. We strongly advise the wearing of masks for those who do attend HAC and some group leaders may make it a requirement. There will be strict limits on numbers in the rooms due to social distancing and if more people arrive than the room is permitted to hold, they will have to be turned away. If we can solve the problems it will give greater access to our courses. We are going to trial a combined physical class and Zoom participation with the Family History group. It presents a number of challenges and we hope to sort them out and then roll it out for more groups in the future. Hopefully some time next year a vaccine will be produced so that we can return to something much more normal.
