Upcoming and Recent Events
After five months a smaller than usual group of members met for the August meeting. Being the first meeting since the more restrictive conditions required by the COVID-19 virus, the current rules including social distancing did not reduce ...
The HTFS committee is continuing to monitor the CVID-19 situation and announcements of the Government and Health authorities. As a result it is not expected that members' meetings will not restart before August 2020. The committee will further review this situation in July and decide then should the restart of members' meeting be further deferred. We are not planning to be pace setters once restrictions are lifted but to continue with a conservative approach.
