Canvey Rally 2022 Cancelled
/We have been advised that the South Essex Amateur Radio Society have cancelled the 2022 Canvey Amateur Radio Rally.
“It is with a great deal of disappointment that we need to announce the cancellation of the February 2022 Canvey Rally.
We feel at this time, with rising Covid numbers and while we are heading into the winter, where these figures will no doubt rise further, it would be unwise to hold such an event, Our concerns above all, have to be for our Visitors safety.
This is very disappointing as I am sure you will agree, but we feel it for the best.
There has also been discussions about the possibility of running a rally later in the year if circumstances allow. We will keep you posted.
Stay safe everyone.”
