HM GOVERNMENT CANCELS SUMMER BIG GAME!

No, not the 1/60 scale HM Government with Prime Minister Oswald Mosley at the helm. The 1/1 scale HM Government with Prime Minister Boris Johnson in charge and, as of last Monday, extending the lockdown period past the planned and much anticipated "Freedom Day" (i.e. today) for another month.

Which completely destroys the possibility of Hereford VBCW hosting its Summer Big Game on Saturday 3rd July 2021 as planned.

While thousands of police and hundreds of political journalists/politicians can gather at the recent G7 meeting in Cornwall, and some twenty thousand Scottish football fans can invade London for the England/Scotland football match, partying all night in Leicester Square, it remains illegal for twelve or so wargamers to meet in a Village Hall in Herefordshire - at least for the next month.

An email has gone around the Hereford VBCW Group explaining the situation, but this blogpost is designed to inform anyone we may have missed by mistake. 

If HM Government will let us, we shall be back for the Autumn Big Game 2021 in October !
