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.

I didn't, we had slates

Do you have bowlegs due to sitting on barrels at school? I can remember filling ink wells but not cleaning slates

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👍🏻

There is quite a difference between fair reporting and the sort of manipulation we are seeing at the moment. Do you really think in this day and age, this story wasn't known about before now. It was just hung onto until the time was right. Not so much the state controlling the media but the unelected media controlling the state.

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.

I do think Croatia is probably to complicated for the reasons you mention but I have still been harbouring hope for Spain and France but even that could be off if the quarantine fiasco develops further. Haven't cancelled the ferry yet though.

We've written off any trips to France for this year, initially thought that perhaps September may be possible, and who knows, it may yet be. We'll be quite happy to stay in the UK this year, plenty of places we haven't seen yet. I know it's not what you normally do, but if you couldn't go abroad, would you not consider that as an alternative for this year? Maybe not for the same length of time, but for a few weeks.

You really have a problem with my shiny new caravan and other holidays don't you, I wonder why

not at all was just trying to make the point that even without this pandemic and the current lock down which you were putting forward as the reason for not seeing your family, you would in fact under normal circumstances have been out of the country for upwards of 60+ continuous days and therefore assume not available to see your family

David would doubtless have seen family in between travels as many do

I have given up for this years attempt at crossing the channel, so have made a couple of bookings into Scotland for end of August into September. If nothing comes of it then near to the time I will cancel, but if the floodgates do open then pitches will probably be hard to come by.
