Well, I've just had the email saying we have to register with the nhs test and trace app when arriving on site. As a couple we own standard old school phones which don't have the app facility so are we now discriminated against and can't enjoy our hobby?

I wonder how they're getting on CAMC HQ? The email we all received wasn't worded well or helpful to people without smart phones, hence all these discussions.
Has anyone reported the subsequent confusion and discontent?
Please report my post if it helps to produce a more sensible and considered response from Grinstead Towers which explains clearly what non smart phone users should do.
I hope they haven't been inundated with irate members but I fear they may have been.
In the meantime I'm happy with the app until further notice.
I'm glad I don't work for a Telecomms Company I realise my teaching abilities are less than perfect and that resistance isn't futile for some!

Posted on 18/10/2020 12:24 by AcoupleofOldiesAgree but the rot set in with the Daytrip to Barnard Castle. Once that happened no-one could take the restrictions seriously. As for the magic App it is not the answer, it will not protect you, it will not magically send out rays that will smite the virus down all it will do is advise you that you have been near to someone with the virus provided of course they have the app and it's turned on. I am going to email my MP and check if he has downloaded the app. If he has then I may have some confidence in the system but in reality I doubt he has.

Posted on 18/10/2020 13:47 by EmilysDadAre you trying to convince us or yourself whether or not smart phones are a good idea? Those without a smart phone these days are very much in a minority. Even my 83 yr old Dad has one & uses it quite well!

Not trying to convince anyone about smartphones, just finished a video chat with my grandchildren in Queensland on mine. The issue is the app and the CEO behind the T&T do I trust her ? Am I convinced that given the opportunity my details will be sold to the highest bidder? You can draw your own conclusions.
PS like your bus nice to see that some of the old things are still valued shame trust and honesty from our current government seem to have slipped through the net.
