 +It became clear that we cannot have confidence that things will have become safe enough, with restrictions lifted sufficiently, to run this course on the 2021 dates we had originally hoped. 
 + 
 +So we have taken the difficult decision to reschedule it yet again to the date in July as shown above. This is after the date when the government hopes to have lifted all restrictions, so we are all hoping we can run the course then. 
 + 
 +All bookings for postponed dates in 2020 and 2021 will be honoured for this one. If you already have such a booking, you will be contacted by email with latest updates.
