Trustpower<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>park<br />

– looking<br />

ahead<br />

After lockdown Trustpower <strong>Bay</strong>park kicked<br />

back into life with a number <strong>of</strong> events<br />

occurring before we entered Level 2<br />

again. A few successful large events were<br />

held between July/August before Level 2<br />

restricted mass gatherings to 100.<br />

Previous lockdown measures<br />

were implemented<br />

immediately, such as<br />

increased hygiene, contract<br />

tracing and physical distancing<br />

measures. While this presents<br />

challenges, Trustpower <strong>Bay</strong>park<br />

is staying positive and<br />

looking ahead.<br />

Our clients continue to remain<br />

positive and where possible<br />

are postponing to new<br />

dates rather than cancelling<br />

their events. Regular communication<br />

is maintained to<br />

ensure action is taken quickly<br />

when required.<br />

Looking ahead to spring –<br />

there are a number <strong>of</strong> upcoming<br />

events in <strong>September</strong>/<strong>October</strong><br />

that should not be missed.<br />
