[phillipsheila]

Coronavirus: Social gatherings above six banned in England from 14 September

A new legal limit will be enforced through a £100 fine but will not apply to schools or workplaces.

Guess this is why the upcoming Adventure Overland Show have had to go so far with their COVID Safe measures which will be expensive so do wonder if other ones will be prepared to do the same.

 

[phillipsheila]

[cliffanger]

Does this mean Stratford and Avon Bank are cancelled?!?

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

Think we need to see the full rules before we jump to conclusions

Just reading it on Sky News, that's going to cause a lot of rethinking again.

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

Lets all stay positive

Hopefully not - with regards to the Adventure Overland Show they have some extreme precautions in place including patrols with dogs to prevent gatherings - see post #133 https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/foru...shows-meet-15-21-september-2020.225913/page-5

Motorhomes that happen to be in the same place are not considered a gathering( Scotland rules) unless they are taking part in group activities. Hopefully it might be the same in England.

There was still a ban on gatherings of more than 30 people so I guess the shows must have the work-around sussed.

 

[cliffanger]

Hoping it will be OK - but with the infection rate going up as high as it is, they may come down hard again

 

[Janine]

As I just said on the other thread, there was still a ban on gatherings of more than 30 people so the shows must be exempt in some way.

Shows like the Overland one are not something we would normally attend , but we are going to give it a shot this year. One reason being simply getting out and about . For another , wanting a few ideas for our van , that fit in with "hopefully" being able to to do a bit more off grid type travel in the future.

Might be the problem... I understand you want to get out and about...fair enough... but why to a crowded organized event . Get out and about and enjoy the remarkably beautiful country side we have and support the small sites where you can socially distance.
Use internet to get what you need to off grid.... you probably will anyway once you get ideas from "The Show".

Trust you have some solar?

Will wait for the confirmed official word on this but the chat on the Adventure Overland Show Facebook Groups isn't looking promising with regards to this new announcement Everyone's health & safety is the most important consideration & presume at worst our bookings may be postponed until next year but let's wait & see... Will keep the thread https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/foru...shows-meet-15-21-september-2020.225913/page-5 updated

Thanks for that Karen - keeping everything crossed.

 

[Swifter]

I just can’t see how it can go ahead now ?

More nonsense, go back to work, go to the pub, eat out to help out, but don't you dare meet up in a group of more than six.

I didn’t see this before . Makes sense now . So this event is classed more like a theme park . Lots of people in the same place , enjoying the experience and maintaining social distancing . It isn’t however a gathering . These new rules are so hard to work out . Thanks Janine

 

[jezport]

At least the Bath show is before the new rules kick in.

But is a “ show “ a social gathering ?

OnLy if there of more than six of you.

 

[Swifter]

OnLy if there of more than six of you.

It’s so confusing for me

 

[glenn2926]

It’s so confusing for me ☹

Just take your other shoe off . If you use one of those toes it’s not allowed?

 

[Abacist]

Unless you have more than 6 from at least 2 households in either a motorhome or a tent. marquee or awning I can't see a problem with rallies or meets. They are not stopping people working or going in bars, cafes or restaurants!
