HUNFILEX 2022 will take place from 31 March – 3 April 2022 at a new venue – the Groupama Arena (home of the Ferencvarosi Sport Club). The address is: Groupama Arena, Üllöi utca 129, Budapest. The Organisers have advised that this venue is close to the city centre and may be an improvement on the original venue (‘The Whale’). Further information can be found at the venue’s website www.groupamaarena.com
The change of venue has been brought about by national elections in Hungary which will now be held on 3rdApril and have resulted in ‘The Whale’ being requisitioned for one of the political parties.

Reuters news agency reported from Shanghai on 18th January that “China is urging people to wear masks and gloves when opening mail, especially from abroad, after authorities suggested the first case of the Omicron coronavirus virus variant found in Beijing could have arrived via a package from Canada”. The report goes on saying that “authorities vowed to step up disinfection of overseas mail and are insisting postal staff handling it are fully vaccinated”.

“The Organising Committee of London 2022 has absolutely no intention of cancelling or postponing London 2022. The exhibition will go ahead from 19 to 26 February 2022.” This statement followed by the announcement of the installation of a Covid-19 testing facility at the Business Design Centre was included in the latest newsletter posted by the organisers on the exhibition website on 12th January.
London 2022 Newsletter No. 28
First, a very clear statement of intent: the Organising Committee of London 2022 has absolutely no intention of cancelling or postponing London 2022. The exhibition will go ahead from 19 to 26 February 2022. We have been looking very closely at the current UK Government rules and guidelines, and we will be putting in place a professional Covid testing facility at the exhibition venue to handle the testing of international visitors.
Jurors and Commissioners Last week we agreed to set up a Covid testing centre for Commissioners and Members of the Jury at the exhibition site in the Business Design Centre, Islington; this news has been communicated with them.
All other Overseas Visitors and Stand Holders Now we can announce that the Test Centre will be open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 17, 18 and 19 February for Lateral Flow (Rapid Allergen) Tests on arrival for all overseas visitors including stand holders. We will also arrange tests for those returning to overseas destinations (Fit to Fly Tests) on Saturday 26 February.
Prices and Certificates These will be charged at £50 plus VAT for a Supervised Lateral Flow Test or £85 plus VAT for a PCR Test. Both will be certificated by a professional company recognised by the UK Government.
How do I book? In early February a dedicated page on the www.london2022.co website will be set up for making these bookings. The tests will comply with UK Government requirements for the Passenger Locator Form necessary to enter the United Kingdom and will include the testing reference numbers for the COVID-19 test on arrival.
What do I do next? If you are interested in using this service, please let us know at covid@london2022.co and we will tell you when the booking forms are ready. I am very grateful to Chris King who has undertaken most of the research in putting this facility together. Further information will follow in due course.
