LETTER FROM WAYNE HARVEY AND ANNETTE IRISH 

Dear Members,

After careful consideration of the imposts of the COVID-19 coronavirus, including advice released Saturday by the Chief Medical Officer of Australia, the Federal Government and the FBBGSA Board we regret to advise the Banks and Solander 2020 conference to be held in Brisbane has been cancelled. The pre and post tours have also been cancelled.

Our top priority in the consideration to cancel was the health and well being of our members, the conference delegates, our team of FFBGSA volunteers and the public.

The conference team are very disappointed that they will not be showing off the City of Brisbane and sharing with you some of the gems of the SE Qld in May. Our options are being considered and we will inform everyone as soon as possible.

Please stay tuned for further information.

Full refunds will be processed this week and delegates should see the funds in their bank accounts within 5 working days of the credit transactions.

If you have any questions regarding the cancellation including refunds please contact Conference Convenor Annette Irish on directorservices@fbbgsa.org.au.

We thank you for your support and understanding and hope you stay well and virus free,

Wayne Harvey President

Annette Irish Conference Convenor
