April 2020 Covid 19 Update
To All Mentors, Friends and Supporters of FFF
I wish to thank you most sincerely for all your sterling support through 2019/20 and the recent calls and e mails of well-wishing and concern that have been totally uplifting during these difficult days so please keep them coming and I will respond asap.
I have delayed this notice like many in the fervent hope that a reasonably speedy solution could be found to this virus but as you all know and probably are experiencing the majority of UK citizens are in isolation including ourselves for an unspecified period until it is beaten.
All events planned for FFF are of course suspended until the restrictions are eased if not lifted completely but we have plans in place and we will be standing at the starting gate the moment the restrictions are lifted to take as many members of HMAF to the waterside in the shortest possible time before the weather changes or the season ends.
I share with you all the frustrations of not getting out to see friends and family or taking part in your favourite leisure pursuit’s but you are helping to curb the spread of the disease by sticking to the regulations and many of you are working from home keeping this country alive for which I thank you personally.
Like you all I have heard many heart-warming stories of bravery by Frontline workers and admirable deeds involving mentors, friends and supporters of FFF and thousands of others raising funds throughout the country and turning out to help those on the front line and those more vulnerable who are unable to leave their homes.
The message from FFF is simple. Stay safe, stay well and save lives by following the guidelines. We look forward to the pleasure of your company in the not too distant future. The whole country has pulled together so I am certain we all will come out of this crisis more aware and appreciative of each other and especially those on the Front line in the NHS, Police and members of HMAF to the road sweeper whose efforts throughout the years 365 24/7 have too often gone unsung.
My very best thoughts and wishes to you all.
