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.

I posted before (maybe this thread) that we moved our summer holiday to Troutbeck Head and that SP (there are 47) were fully booked in July, I've noticed today that apart from four days, August is fully booked on SP and those four days are showing five pitches or less.

although the apparent adherence to the "its a BH so I must got to the beach"

Not sure this is going to be true anymore, bank holiday Tuesday in Lee-on-theSolent, only people working are the icream vendors .

Schools start a phased return starting June provided they can find a way to stop the youngsters picking their noses and wiping it on their clothesundecided, so maybe we will eventually see more results from lifting the lock down.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned recently is when the restrictions on the over 70’s will be lifted. If that is still in place in July what impact will that have on things?

Tell them you are a government advisor that should exempt you

Didn’t realise there were any restrictions in place regarding over 70s 🤔

Must have missed the notification when I was too busy googling cows in the Netherlands!

The trick is Frank, to do your own risk assessment.......are you healthy (no diabetes, no heart disease, no immune system issues, not grossly overweight etc.....), then look at what you want to do, where you want to go, how do I get there and consider the risks. Can you keep well away from others, is your vehicle reliable, will the places I might need be open (loos, shops, eateries etc...)

70 is just a number. Some individuals way over 70 are very fit, no health issues at all. Conversely, some 20/30/40/50/60 year olds are not. 

Relying upon someone else to order your life can get frustrating. Particularly if the ones doing it have all the organisational skills of a flange of baboons......

I was just saying exactly the same thing in the car on our way to Tesco click and collect.  We thought it was due to end middle of June, but nothing has been mentioned recently.  I hope they haven't forgotten us!  We could be sitting here for months waiting for the green light.
