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.

Just as a change of tack does anyone know what the situation is for potential travel to Eire and NI?

I am all in favour of investigative press and reporting. Totally against press lead campaigns to change government and other aspects of the country. For me it amounts to report the news rather than making campaigns to make the news

I thought that Northern Ireland was very much as Scotland and Wales banning free travel effectively. No idea about Ireland though

I just had a vision of going over there and realised Eire hadn't been in the news regarding travel. Vision only at present. frown

Eire is not included in the quarantine plans but I know nothing else.

Britons talk a good game when it comes to social distancing but research suggests that many of us are somewhat economical with the truth.

Only 3 per cent of people admitted to having left the house for non-essential reasons during the past week, polling shows. However, when the question was asked anonymously this figure jumped to 29 per cent.
