-Unfortunately ACCU 2020 [was cancelled](https://accu.org/conf-news/2020/2020-03-12-accu2020cancelled). We are working on recovering funds already spent on conference tickets and travel arrangements that will no longer be used or carrying them forward a future conference where possible.
+Unfortunately ACCU 2020 [was cancelled](https://accu.org/conf-news/2020/2020-03-12-accu2020cancelled). We recovered minimal funds from flights and trains but there were some sunk costs in a failed visa application and unrefunded train journey. The candidate needing the visa did manage to attend a different local C++ conference in 2021 instead. The other attended ACCU 2021 online.

+For ACCU 2022 there were no applicants for scholarships and realistically we could not have purchased even a student ticket at reduced cost. Regrettably we could not use the funds this year and so they will be carried over to a future ACCU event.
