Following the Governments introduction of the Covid Plan B this week, the Prime Ministers Address on Sunday evening, the current dramatic increase in Covid infections, and the continued press speculation that further Covid regulations may come into place with Covid Plan C, Merchandise World feel that they are forced into a position to postpone the January event until April 2022.
