As of the date on which this update was written (13^th April 2021), Knuston Hall has been in contact regarding COW2021, and – baring any changes that may result from an upsurge in COVID-19 infections etc. – they are able to accommodate a maximum of 32 attendees.

At present, 35 people have booked places at COW2021 and paid in full. The 32 attendees were selected by the simple expedient of using the date order in which they had paid in full and confirmed their booking. The remaining 3 are being held in reserve so that if any of the 32 is unable to attend, their place will be allocated to one of the reserves.

Except where attendees are a couple or members of the same bubble, all attendees will be allocated single accommodation. Not all the rooms normally used for COW will be in operation to facilitate social distancing at mealtimes.

We hope that things will return to normal by the time that COW2022 takes place. An announcement regarding booking for COW2022 will be made after COW2021 has taken place, by which time we hope that the situation regarding COW2022 will be much clearer.
