The Shantymen met today for their weekly singing session. Sadly, we have to report that we must cancel our forthcoming event at Capies, planned for the 25th September (this week). We have had some people saying that they are too concerned about Covid to come along. Also, the weather forecast is looking very bad. We have spoken with the restaurant owners, and they fully understand the difficulties and they have suggested that we postpone the event, until better circumstances prevail, perhaps in April 2021. So, we will be offering full refunds to all ticket holders. If you could contact us via our email audeshantymen@gmail.com or by telephone on 06 38 68 11 77, we can arrange the refunds. We are very sorry about this, but it was always going to be a possibility at this troubled time. We must put safety first. The event was to be held out of doors, so there was no issue there. If the weather was bad, we could have all moved inside, but this would have been a bad situation for the organisers to be placed in. Your welfare is our priority. We are not alone with this, as the apple festival in Mirepoix has also been cancelled over Covid fears. We were to have sung there too. As far as we know, the CSF evet at Alet-les-Bains (an out of doors event), is still going ahead (details further down the page) on 4th October 2020. If you are able, please come along to see us and to support this worthy cause.
