Last night at Stroud Ceilidhs the caller Fee Lock asked us to put a notice to the effect "wash hands before dancing" - so moving into high gear I put out surgical spirits in a spray bottle, anti-bac soap in a dispenser and foam anti-bac dispenser. And 4 notices.

The venue were asked to fill the soap dispensers in the loos a day before, and we are not over-impressed by the venue who didn't seem to respond, and even asked very pointed questions implying a poor choice of my personal, hard found, best 3 compromises. "Is it anti-viral?"

In an environment of specific shortages of anything appropriate. Attitudes to intelligent precautions, such as they were, when the venue can't even attend fairly basic health requirements.

It doesn't auger well.
