| Visitor Centre guests. we had tocancel all | ||||||
| our Open Days between the end ofMarch | ||||||
| and the beginning afSeptember 2020.As a |
||||||
| result, there was no kicome from visitor | ||||||
| donations and retail sales on the cancelled | ||||||
| Open Days to meet our regular planned | ||||||
| experxfiture and, when we did reopen, it |
||||||
| was with much reduced visitor numbers to |

| ensure smaller alkiwable groupings and |

| social distancing. This necessitated |
