They may look relaxed and comfortable, but here you see some of the 2021 committee hard at work on Saturday planning a fabulous event for May 2021. As well as the new SRGC President Julia Corden, their number includes no less than 4 past presidents, bringing much collected experience between them.

Be aware that many accommodation suppliers will not accept bookings more than a year in advance so patience needed to make bookings for hotels etc after May 2020 - plenty choices available to suit all pockets!

From Matt Topsfield, registration secretary and Julia Corden SRGC President
ALPINES'21 & CORONAVIRUS (SARS-COV-2 / COVID-19)
Dear delegates, friends and colleagues,
Following careful consideration and discussions between the 2021 Conference Committee, the SRGC Council and the AGS, we have taken the unanimous decision to cancel the "Alpines 2021” conference, due to the ongoing coronavirus (SARS-COV-2 / COVID-19) pandemic. We do this with a heavy heart, and hope you understand this was not an easy decision, but it is our belief that the effects of this virus will be felt for a considerable time. International travel, which is an essential part of any international conference is also likely to be curtailed through next year at least. Therefore, cancellation at this time is in the best interests of everyone's health and wellbeing.
The Scottish Rhododendron Society, the Rhododendron Species Conservation Group and the Czech Rock Gardeners Society were pleased to be sponsorship partners to the Conference but understand the reasons to cancel.
REFUNDS
We are arranging for all booked delegates to receive a full refund of their registration fees. We have directly emailed all booked delegates with more information.
CONTACT US
The Alpines 2021 email address will remain active and regularly monitored for some time yet. If there are any problems or queries with your refund, please contact us at: alpines2021@gmail.com
We know that you will be as disappointed as we are, but we hope we can all meet again when circumstances permit.
Keep well all.
Best wishes,
Matthew Topsfield
Registration Secretary

I know how hard the SRGC committee has been working and how advanced most of the arrangements were - but this is a pandemic and we cannot expect things to return to "normal" at any speed, even if the crisis passes as quickly as the most optimistic models hope for - a difficult decision to cancel the event and a great disappointment to many, but the right one. a difficult decision but the right one.
This is very sad and we can only hope to meet again.
Well done President Julia and your 2021 committee for taking the brave decision.
MargaretYoung SRGC Hon. Vice President.
