I've been having a think, specifically about events being cancelled/postponed because of the plague or whatever it is. Without getting into discussions about how we're all going to die / it'll be fine (delete as applicable), or passing on hearsay about shows you've heard from your workmates' aunties dogs neighbour, can we have a list of shows we were/are going to and their status? For example, the Volksworld Show this month is postponed til October. volksworld.com/2020-volksworld-show-postponed-to-october/See, link to official site to prove it. Similarly, the Classic and Restoration show at the NEC is still currently going ahead, despite everything else at the NEC being cancelled or postponed. www.thenec.co.uk/whats-on/practical-classic-car-and-restoration-show/Worth adding to? We're a broad church here and helping each other out with information is one of the biggest strengths of this forum IMO. If HoTWire thinks it isn't a good idea though, or should be in the events section, then he has final say of course!

I can tell you all rally-cross events are canceled until further notice, we cant guarantee medical cover as the crews will be needed elsewhere.

Good info thanks gents. If we've got links to events to put up it'll be easier to see updates from the organisers, and also verify that we're getting our info straight from the horses mouth.

Anybody heard anything about Classic Ford at Mallory Park? Nothing yet, but it's not til June, by which case we will either be fine, and it'll go ahead as planned, or the world will have ended. Edit - Kelsey Media have said on the Volksworld Show link that they have no plans to cancel any of their other shows at the moment. It's only just twigged that Classic Ford is one of their titles!

I think a lot of event organisers are waiting on what the Government plan to do with public events/sporting events and in what sort of time scale. Right now Weekender is going ahead and I'd hope that whatever government put in place won't extend beyond a month, so we'll be good to go even if they don't announce until April. We'll see though.
Apparently Members Meeting is still going ahead.

Santa Pod are still open and meetings going ahead as planned. santapod.co.uk/coronavirus.phpI think it's sensible to not cancel everything as a knee jerk reaction, better to make decisions at the start of each month.

Apparently Members Meeting is still going ahead. The Goodwood Members Meeting & the NEC Restoration are still posted as 'Going Ahead / Happening' - I could be wrong but I sense that they are playing the waiting game between the Government announcement (if its made) and their insurers - cancel the event prior to any Government announcement that events larger than xx capacity cannot be held and they will wave goodbye to any cancelled event beyond their own control insurance claim I organise & manage the stand for the Jowett Car Club for the NEC Restoration Show - having won the best car club working restoration stand 5 times we relish our attendance at the show and throw everything we have at it - however I sincerely hope it gets cancelled - Has I write my stand team has been reduced by 70% along with one of the 4 cars planned for the stand pulling out - Despite all my contacts & given that I have little over a week to fill the gaps / source another display vehicle along with the logistics concerned - I don't have a hope in hell of short of a miracle

Bicester Heritage has been actively monitoring governmental and WHO advice regarding the development of Coronavirus COVID-19 over the past weeks. With a dramatic shift in the global response, it is clear that COVID-19 will have a profound impact beyond our health and day-to-day activity. As a result Bicester Heritage has the made decision to postpone the next Scramble, due to be held on the 26th April, to a new date on the 21st June 2020. It was our intention to hold the second edition of our Super Scramble at Bicester Heritage on the 21st June, however this event will now be postponed until 20th June 2021, allowing us to hold the rescheduled April Scramble in its place. The nature of our Scramble and Super Scramble events, attracting more than 6,500 enthusiasts of all ages from across the UK and abroad, means that the postponement of these ever-popular events is the most appropriate decision to take at this time. Bicester Heritage is disappointed not to be able to go ahead with the original dates as planned, and we know that the rescheduling of both events will be sad news for the many event supporters who had made plans to attend, both enthusiasts and exhibitors alike. However, we feel that this is the best course of action at this juncture and we look forward to welcoming you to Bicester Heritage on the new event dates. At this time our offices in The Station Armoury remain open and for the foreseeable future we will endeavour to continue with ‘business as usual’. We wish it to be known that the safety of our event attendees, specialists, exhibitors and traders is of paramount importance to Bicester Heritage and we will continue to closely monitor this unprecedented situation closely. On behalf of all at Bicester Heritage, do take care and please ensure that care and compassion for one another remains at the forefront of all our minds. Scramble Pass Policy Bicester Heritage wishes to reassure all Scramble Pass holders (purchased for the 26th April) that their current Passes will allow entry to the Scramble on the new date of 21st June 2020. If you would like to login to your Eventbrite account to check your Passes, please click here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/signin/?referrer=%2FIf you are unable to attend the new Scramble date then you are entitled to a full refund. Refunds can be requested up until Saturday 13th June 2020. Should you wish your Pass to be refunded, please follow the steps set out by Eventbrite by clicking here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/support/articles/en_US/How_To/can-i-get-a-refund?lg=en_GBIf you are yet to purchase a Pass, you can still do so by clicking here: bicesterheritage.co.uk/whaton/january/

Batten down the hatches and get on with fixing your cars. I very much doubt any large car meets will be happening for the foreseeable and quite rightly tbh. We have a track day running on friday but under strict no kissing rules.
