Updates to gatherings, events and tours
The College will continue to monitor and update the status of events, guided by current health advice.
Updates to Gatherings, events and tours
Below, you can find a table of events in the College calendar for the next few weeks and the status of those events which we will continue to monitor and update.
In deciding what to proceed with, modify, postpone or cancel, we considered quite a few factors including whether the event was inside or outside, its duration, the age of participants, how many people would attend, whether it was our core business, how close the physical contact would be and whether it was participating or spectating. Of course, we were primarily guided by health advice.
Please note, the information below is correct as of 3.00pm, 27 March 2020. The situation is evolving quickly, and we will provide updates via Spaces, our website and, if the impact is urgent, an SMS.
