CB.11:5.4 - A pause that does not promise an unavailable service

A seasonal field group cannot obtain the authorised site access needed for its next activity. It pauses field meetings until a named access decision or a stated review date. A willing receiver handles current enquiries and tells participants which alternatives are available.

At the review date, access is still unavailable and no capable host can provide the alternative site. The group ends the field programme for that season, returns the borrowed equipment and leaves permitted guidance accessible. The pause did not become an indefinite promise that nobody could fulfil.
