As to the event, DarinFrow of CBTsays: “The

situation as it stands is thatweare talking to MSV

and they have said it isbusiness as usual for the

timebeing. However,the latest governmentadvice

to stopany non-essential travel would include our

events.We’re waiting for the Government to make

their next statementregardinglockdown and

whether it will be extended fromMay 7, and if

so,for howlong.

“There's also the question regardingwhat’s

considereda‘mass gathering’ andwhethe rthatwill

have an impact on us. Allwe can do is wait.”
