We’re in!

Yonnick David and the team that brought us the Guyana Rum Festival have something else up their sleeves; this time, it’s a brunch! But not just any brunch; apparently, it is one that is to be hosted at a secret garden, and safe to say, we’re definitely intrigued.
According to bits of information being released, the organisers are currently coordinating with the relevant authorities to ensure that the event, slated for September 19, 2020, is executed in accordance with the nationally established COVID-19 protocols.
David in a Facebook Post said that efforts to host an event in the context of a global pandemic has been “a huge learning curve.”
Relating the tediousness of even attempting to successfully pursue the event, David dished that it is important for organisers to engage the authorities and ensure honest dialogue. “It is the best thing an event coordinator can do,” he said.

With the team surpassing some hurdles, some compromises were made, and the event seems to have been given the go-ahead.
Bookings for tables will be done in groups of four, eight and 12, while all group tables will be set up at least six feet apart. For a larger table special arrangements will be made.
In accordance with the national guidelines, masks remain mandatory for certain zones of the venue, including the entrance/exit, buffet station when picking up food and for making purchases at the bar. A sanitisation station will also have to be mounted.
Even more impressive, is that the team has committed to ensuring effective data collection for the purpose of contact tracing, should any unfortunate situation occur. “Names and contact information will be recorded at the gate,” the team related. Brunch is expected to be served from 11am to 2pm, with complementary bottles of drinks for all tables. Ladies have been advised that the anticipated event will be on lawns, so flats or wedge heels are strongly suggested. Packages and location are slated to be announced soon, and we’re all eyes and ears.
