When the lockdown ends

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.

Well you know nothing about my family. My eldest daughter is 160 miles away and the other is a vulnerable person in a care home where we are requested not to visit.  People have made even greater sacrifices unable to visit the dying or attend funerals yet you seem to think  his  is just a wrist slap offense.

Rules it seems are rules unless its one of the political class then  we just tut a bit and ask everyone to ignore it

you are right i know very little about your family, but would you mind telling us all where you would be right now if it were not for this pandemic, let me remind you 30+ days into a 60+ day European tour in your shiney new caravan, and would you mind telling us all where you would like to be in September if we have gotten to grips with this pandemic and lock down has been lifted, Oh! off on another elongated trip in your shiney new caravan, and is this not something you have been doing for many years interspersed with trips to Cuba, so please do not use this pandemic to play the sympathy card, and try to make out that i am the bad guy in this.

This whole Cummings thing is something that somebody has been keeping in their back pocket since March waiting for the moment when it looks like we can see a light at the end of the tunnel and some of what the government and the people paid to advise the government is coming to fruition and then they have chosen to lob a grenade over the wall in an effort to distract from all that has been achieved, we even now have some who would deny our children a return to school, because they deem it to be unsafe, unlike 20 other countries whose children are back at school, not totally but we are not asking for a total resumption in the UK.

it is always the same in the UK, there is always somebody out there knocking all the achievements that have been made or trying to kill those that have been successful but never coming up with anything tangible in their own right. frown

Pay by phone before you arrive and give number plate.

You will already have been given pitching instructions, so drive up to barrier on arrival and you will be let in.

No need to assign pitch. You are still going to have to get a barrier card. So find your own and report back as normal. One in one out at office, warden protected by screen.

Site either (max ) 50% full and facilities in use with a tally system.

Or (max) 75% No facility, prices adjusted to reflect.

Enhanced cleaning in all areas.

gel dispensers at service points and entrances to facilities (if open)

In either case all other facilities such as bistro, games room, pool closed. Although take away vendors allowed with appropriate social distancing in place.

 

Thats my 5p's worth.

Conspiracy, No. 

The worst form of trial by media, Yes.☹️

They've got the smell of blood and nothing is going to stand in there way. Although he was in the wrong, it does not make it right.👎

It’s reporting, I support any news media that reports these things. I prefer this than Mr Putins Russian press. Free & fearless media, the day the media are controlled by Govt we have lost democracy. If they make things up then the courts are always there for recompense. It works too👍🏻

Yea, bring back public flogging ,that will draw in the crowds , with social  distancing of course wink

Wimp. Whatever happened to hanging drawing and quartering. Now there's a spectacle to draw the crowds.

Seriously, the real damage is the effect it will have on the compliance by the public to any directives. Imagine the conversation between some miscreant and the police as they "engage" over compliance with the lockdown rules.

So am I as I am more interested in seeing overseas travel restrictions lifted.

Posted on 24/05/2020 09:20

It must be more frustrating for yourself and others that drive through multiple country’s ,and you need to make sure every country you travel through has the correct passage and suddenly not ban all travel at a moments notice leaving you stranded , I presume you have given up trying to go this year ?

agree, but in reality even yesterday law enforcement when it comes to lock down rules has been at an all time low simply because the police are damned if they do and damned if they dont, so they do something that is inbetween but in effect is very little
