Avon Jamboree Postponed

Further to the recent UK Gov announcement about the move from Contain to Delay in regard to the growing pandemic of Covid-19, and the advice from Tim Kidd, UK Scout Commissioner for local areas to review and make the best decisions in a calm, measured and appropriate way.

I have discussed with Isabelle Mills, Camp Chief & Simon Crowden, Deputy Camp Chief, and agreed that due to the impact for Health & Safety on our young people, volunteers, contractors, wider family members, visitors to the event, as well as our financial commitment, to make the difficult decision to postpone Avon Adventure until 2021.

We are very fortunate to have excellent relationships with the North Somerset Show Ground Committee as well as supporting contractors, many of whom have confirmed that they will honour our booking when we will be holding the event between 28 May 2021 and 31 May 2021.

Refunds
Any group that has paid a deposit or paid in full will be refunded the full amount paid.

Lastly, thank you all, for your continued support, keep safe and well, follow all Public Health Guidance and we look forward to seeing you in 2021,

Graham Brant

County Commissioner
