Well since the local County show is cancelled I think you are in a declining group of optimists..

You may be right that it won't go ahead but the Cumberland Show would be 3 weeks earlier and have hundreds in attendance and take a lot more organising. Lockdown may be relaxed a little by July to allow driving again. It would depend whether the hotel and campsite was open. 2m distance rules could still work if still required, packed lunches, lots of shouting, maybe a smaller group, it'd be a laugh. If it doesn't happen it's not the end of the world there's always next year. Miss it though.Pbondar said:

Lots of discussion on how to relax the clampdown at some point...I think bars/hotels/campsites will be a long way down the queue of institutions to be opened.. :thumbsdown:

Hello I have the deepest sympathy for everyone that has already been badly affected by either the health and/or economic and/or social impacts
My wife had returned to the NHS to assist so we’re aware of many of the issues and see the consequences of this pandemic.
I certainly do not wish to deprive anyone of the ability to earn a crust as soon as they can.
You raise a very good point and I guess there are at least two views
One view is to preemptively cancel things people could argue maybe prematurely
Another is to accept that the world has changed and re cast a plan
My personal view is that the world has changed arguably in a way that will mean all things will be forever and in unpredictable ways
So IMHO kick into touch when realistically the plan has failed and get ready to plan for a different way of achieving some of the tings you did hope to achieve
So I’m not saying that there should be no plan to enjoy Zeding but accept it may we’ll have to be novel / innovative / creative
Having been in an industry where we plan to achieve better than 1 in 10,000,000,000 fatality rate I can’t see us in the next 3 months accepting a fatality rate of 1 in 6,700 as acceptable loss rate for the hospitality industry to get back to where we are
There are 17m people over 60 that powers a lot of the travel/hospitality industry...given their medical prognosis in the event of a COVID-19 infection I’d be surprised if they will be rushing to hotels/campsites given the likely risk profile in those areas..

Just to Update things....
Amongst all the doomsayers..
(And if you think that I am not taking it seriously, I am/a friend of mine had it and it nearly killed him,given his existing state of health, Plus I am following the Lockdown limitations, when some others aren't).
The Hotel has cancelled all bookings up to May,but are keeping our Booking live for the Friday night meal and our reserved rooms.
They,like the Campsite are just waiting on the Government to lift the closure order.
Now,with this in mind,and the fact that its been widely mentioned by business analysts,etc that many hundreds of successful, profitable businesses will go under ,such as Bars,Restaurant chains,Hotels,etc etc if closure orders aren't lifted by June at least,then I think that's what is most likely, as do many businesses.
Only the government know for sure,but this is the most likely scenario.
So we should be fine.
I am planning going as long as there is a place to stay open
Will keep you all updated,those who are planning on still attending

Thanks for confirming
Will let you all know as soon as I do,regarding the Hotel/Camping cheers
Yeah,our holiday abroad was scuppered last year,to Cyprus, due to Thomas cook collapsing,and now this years holiday t Italy/Crete is scuppered due to the Pandemic. Another year of UK holidays,if things ease off. Here's hoping
I honestly dont see this going ahead, the economy may not be locked down (completely) by that point but its highly unlikely there wont be ongoing and significant restrictions in place on gatherings etc.
In terms of a vaccine if its here in 2 years we will be doing extremely well

Hey,Willie..how are things?
Long time no see/hear from. How's life mate, all good I hope.
As for the restrictions,hopefully they will be relaxed enough to allow this to go ahead in some way,because as Business/Industry experts have said,if businesses like Hotels,Restaurants, etc etc don't get back to being open by June,then a lot(thousands) of previously profitable businesses will go under,putting the country on an even worse footing.
I do expect /hope the government to allow us to go out and about more,stay in Hotels etc,if we wear Masks,as with other countries round the world. The only issue with that is,lack of supply of proper masks!
I think it comes down to getting the death rate and people testing positive numbers down.
Fingers crossed the government announcement on Hotels,Bars,etc and the like comes sometime in early May
Anyway, how are you mate?

Alright fella
Ducking and diving trying to stay alive! hahaha Hows things on your end?
Can only hope that things progress nice and smoothly and we all get back to normal sooner rather than later :cheers:
Wee bump for this,lol......
Strangely low uptake on this years meet,Usually have about twice this many by now
Hopefully things regarding the Covid-19 Pandemic will ease up in the weeks ahead,and numbers of deaths etc in UK are falling rapidly as of last couple days,so let's hope things can start easing up re lockdown,and closed businesses, etc.
We will have to wait and see.
Hope everyone is keeping well,and stay safe,Folks
