I know Boris does not like to hear this but the lockdown is being pushed by economics, I live on the edge of Manchester and can see a marked increase in traffic as more people go back to work. More shops and small buisineses have opened and even the bigger food takeaway chains are talking of opening all of them following strict guidelines. Many shops etc have been open all along. Even talk of football matches being played.

The club should now be looking at the possibilities of how the sites can be run under strict guidelines. There is not going to be a magic date when everything returns to normal as there will not be a normal as we used to know but a new normal of which all organisations such as CAMC should be prepared for. If any preparations are being made we should know about them and be given a chance to comment and submit suggestion. This is not what the club is used to but does what it wants and if it does not listen to its members it will see the membership numbers fall.

JUST LOOK AT THE MEMBERS COMMENTS AND FOR ONE PUT A COMMENT THERE WILL BE MANY WHO WILL THINK WHY BOTHER AND JUST NOT RENEW MEMBERSHIP.

As we have now been advised that 17 sites are giving "refuge" to some members ,and according to posts from one of those sites the toilet/showers are open, what sort of social distancing is being applied to enable this?

I would think that social distancing is not a problem. No one will share a cubical and people can keep a distance in the main area given the limited number of people on site at the moment. As far as I understand it, if someone is not displaying symptoms then there is a low chance of transmission. Obviously if they have symptoms then they should be self isolating.

Apparently the social distancing is now being reviewed so it will be interesting to see if this is relaxed.

Hi

I would have thought that any communal facilities would be closed and have to use on board facilities. However I hope it is working well for them.

We are both in our late 60s and my wife is having medical treatment and both had letters putting us in quarantine for 12 weeks and ad vised to use separate bed rooms and separate bathrooms I wish.

Cheers

if those on a site have all isolated for 14 days, no-one has symptoms and theyve all been social distancing and no-one has been allowed on site, arent they all 'safe' nis what families of key workers were told in order to get them back to work...

...and this is exactly how new zealand has returned to normal after just four weeks....no outside visits unless quarantined, strict social distancing....

just 1400 cases and only 20 deaths.

that campsite might be a lot safer than walking down the street....

Are they not leaving the sites to go to the shops?

If so then no they are not all safe, they will need to social distance but how does that work if using the facilities.

l have heard all the comments, if the Government decide that sites can open with restrictions then l assume the club will follow the directive, those that are afraid of still catching the virus then it's a no brainer stay at home. For myself and the wife who believe we contracted this in the middle of January, yes the middle of January dont tell me it wasn't here then it was, we had all the symptoms did not realise what it was then until the information came out. The wife an l really have been in lockdown since then as it took a good 4 weeks shake it off. We will travel to sites if they are allowed to open including private ones if the club decides not to. Sooner or later the country needs to get back to normal and their will be those that are still apprehensive about not coming out of lockdown its human nature to be cautious l am not one of those that travel abroad but l am afraid on the continent their will be resentment to none EC travellers which we will be one of, l really think that their will be no foreign travel until next spring, so hopefully more will be spent here

TG, are they not social distancing when they go to the shops, like we do?

i assume New Zealanders still shopped with strict rules as we do?
