Cancelled events?

[comfortablynumb]

I think it’s pretty likely that due to the current situation this summer is going to be a total write-off, carshow wise, and the same for sports events ☹️

Mark Woodward events has cancelled everything they organised until the end of June

No car events. It's going to be a big year for hill-walking

Maybe it’s a good time to just organise your own ‘small’ get-togethers on Sunday mornings or Saturday afternoons & use common sense on personal contact. Let’s be honest there will be plenty of empty pub car parks, quiet empty roads etc.

I was hoping I'd get mine at least part done with the downtime from school, then I got self-isolated and all my stuff is in my workshop /classroom AT SCHOOL!!!

Can you get some kind soul to collect it for you and drop it off, six feet away of course?

I thought about it, but if I've got the bug (and a cough, lack of energy and headache that's been there for four days suggests I might...) it'll be all over my tools too. Fortunately the number of classes cancelled means that it'll have died off before I get back, and it shouldn't have been passed on to anyone else.

I think little Sunday morning drives will be getting popular - meet in a car park, drive in groups to another, then go home. No pub meal, just the drive.

Hope the Sunday drive catches on
Went out for petrol and a drive in the daily saw loads of motorbikes, Lambo, Mercs sports old and new, Yanks and a mad Porsche
Just make a start point,time and route

Well not far from me in the Derbyshire Dales is a place many people may be familiar with called Matlock Bath. Traditionally on nice Sundays, it gets packed with mainly motorcycles, but then also general public, coming to view the said motorcycles.
Someone sent me this earlier, it’s seems today is no different, all the pubs, chippy’s, cafes etc all as normal.

And these are exactly the same people who ina fortnights time when they are very ill will be complaining that ‘the government ‘ didn’t do enough to protect them!

Unbelievably Japfest @ Silverstone is still going ahead. According to the website they have no intention of cancelling at this time.

I’m sure it won’t be long before they cancel an announcement, they’re probably making plans behind the scenes or waiting to see how the land lies a couple of weeks before.

A lot of businesses are saying end of April for now, and I’m sure extensions will be inevitable but it’s probably easier to focus one month at a time.

[comfortablynumb]

I think after last nights briefing they’ll be pulling the plug, unless they want fining?

[ahebron]

Attend a car show and possibly pick up a virus that might'nt harm you but could potentially severely harm or kill a loved one.
Or its postponed till the world is in a better state.

It doesnt take brains to pick the right answer so what are these people lacking!
Hopefully your Govt acts fast and decisively.

Last nights update said for next three weeks didn’t it?

So I guess the venue will wait until government gives a timespan that covers the period that the event fall within.

Sons wedding has been cancelled by the registry office, and that’s middle of August
More time to get the car he wants to use finished

Reviewed in three weeks. If we've learned anything recently it's that counting your chickens is best left to farmers.

What ahebron said

They said the lockdown will last at least 3 weeks and they will review it. This is when they expect the NHS to be dealing with a peak in cases so it will get extended as they try to cope. One of the Doctors interviewed this morning said they expected the lockdown to be made more restricted not stopped after 3 weeks. A lot of events are now being cancelled till next year to get a date while they are available.

Stoneleigh kit car show on May 2/3 now postponed/cancelled.
