  • SEAHORSE BALL 2021 CANCELLED

    This morning I received the email below from the Sydney Seahorse Society

    50th ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND IN KATOOMBA HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

    ……….ANOTHER VICTIM OF COVID……….

    With the current Covid19 lockdown around Australia, not only in NSW, the Seahorse Society Committee has reluctantly decided that the event scheduled for Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th August is no longer practicable and has therefore been cancelled.

    After waiting as long as possible, the extension of the lockdown to five weeks with likely further extension, the uncertainty is too great, not only for the logistics of staging the event, including the availability of the Carrington Hotel itself, but also for any current or prospective attendees.

    The Committee is aware of concern about cancelled flights, the prospect of being unable to return home and/or being forced into quarantine. The planned Sunday bus tour has become a casualty of the demise of the bus company itself, which is symptomatic of the effect of this on-going pandemic.

    An orderly roll out of ticket refunds is underway so please be assured that delays will be kept to a minimum. If you are concerned that it has gone astray please call the Seahorse Society phone on 0476 385 367 or send an email to social@seahorsesoc.org Accommodation cancellations will require direct contact with the Carrington Hotel. While only 48 hours minimum notice is required, early action is recommended to avoid this being overlooked and incurring a cancellation fee on your credit card.

    The Committee is appreciative of the support shown through ticket sales and regrets have to take this action. In the current circumstances, we are sure you will fully understand that there was simply no alternative.

    Noelene Williams; President.

    I would like to thank the Sydney Seahorse Society for making this difficult and unfortunate decision 4 week from the event and not leaving it to the last minute in the off chance it might go ahead most likely with numerous restrictions.

    All your anger
    All your hurt
    Doesn't matter in the end
    Those days go by
    And we all start again
    What you had
    And what you lost
    They're all memories in the wind
    Those days go by
    And we all start again
    Stars still burn bright
    Seasons change overnight
    As we find a way the times
    They come and go
    Look back in love
    A new day rises above
    With the wind it comes
    To carry you back home
    From, Days Go By, (Dexter Holland)
