[Wolves] CANCELLED - Meeting at the Royal Tiger, Wednesfield

[Adam Sweet]

As it happens since government advice is now to avoid unnecessary social
contact, including pubs and restaurants, I think it's a good idea to
cancel this meeting and postpone future ones until further notice.

Personally, I was thinking this should be the last one for a while, but
with Mother's Day on Sunday and my own mum being over 70, I decided I
should probably not risk exposing myself then visiting my mum a few days
later in the period when people are still asymptomatic. The guy who used
the urinal and walked out without washing his hands at the last meeting
sticks out as a good example of why.

That said, the LUG exists with or without me so if people still want to
meet up then feel free, post a meeting list or ask me to.

Perhaps we can organise something online, there's a #wolves on the
Freenode IRC network (I'm the only person in there), run some kind of
weekly/fortnightly online game, or something else fun. Suggestions welcome.
