Coronavirus Update: October 2020
In these continuingly uncertain times, we would like to reassure all members worldwide that The British Sugarcraft Guild continues into its 40th year, however, there are a few differences to our normal practice to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our community of members.
• National Office staff are currently working from home as advised by the government. You may still JOIN and RENEW your membership and sugarcraft insurance at your convenience in the BSG Online Store.
• Our office telephone line will remain closed during this time. For all enquiries, please email info@bsguk.org and we will respond as soon as we can.
• All live in-person Branch Meetings, Events, and Committee Meetings remain suspended and may be replaced by Zoom demonstrations, meetings or other online activities. Please check our social media for updates…
• BSG members are encouraged to access The Sugarcraft Lounge, our members’ community Facebook group, to stay in contact with fellow members, share cake chat & photos, and where you can continue to enjoy our regular online sugarcraft demonstrations.
Most importantly, we hope everyone can stay safe and well. Thank you for your continued support, trust, and patience during this incredibly challenging time for us all.
