Bakewell Tour 5th-8th May 2020

I have to agree with you Elfman, and while I hope that this has passed by May, realistically it looks like it won’t be, at this time I think we keep things as they are, if the venue wants to cancel and refund that is a decision for them. As a group we can take a look at this closer to the time and keep hoping for the best at the moment as I’m sure we all are anyway.

Agreed, despite my ‘Heavy’ post, I have absolutely everything crossed all the time, which causes its own set of problems... The main thing is that we all stay safe and use our common sense, look after one another and get through this, which I’m sure we will. As the old George Harrison song says: “All Things Must Pass”

I think Boris Johnson’s statement this evening pretty much guarantees this event will be off. Let’s wait and see though.

The general lockdown for all of us runs until the Easter weekend at the moment, depending on whats happening at that time they'll re-evaluate and I would suspect extend it further.

At the moment, cross fingers and hope for the best, we'll take things as they come.

It’s a minimum of 3 weeks lockdown to see if they get a handle on it. I haven’t heard from the venue as of yet, I’ll leave it til Easter when the government are looking at if we continue on the lockdown. Nobody will be in the offices for where we’re going but when i know anything, you will. It’s a very unsettling time for people and I for one just want everyone to stay safe and well, if Bakewell doesn’t happen then it doesn’t happen.

I’m currently not at work as considered vulnerable and I’m sure this will be affecting other households, everyone stay positive and if you need a FaceTime call with my amazing chat then let me know!! Haha

Side note: Andrews already sick of my calls haha

As you said, the main thing is that we all get through the next few weeks and months safe & sound. We’ll have plenty of time to get together when this is all over, so I hope Crombers has his barman’s apron on standby - he’s going to need it!!!

Afternoon all,

To keep everyone informed I’ve been in contact with the people who manage the venue. Everyone who has a booking at one of their places in the next 12 weeks was required to fill in a form and they will only deal with the lead traveler, I believe they’ve been getting some nasty emails from people who don’t seem to understand everyone is affected. They are then looking at what can be done for each separate booking

Hope your all well!

What will be will be xx

Thanks for the update Megan

[ELFMAN]

Thanks Megan. You’ve done all you can under these extraordinary circumstances, I hope we can rearrange the trip (or any trip) at some point, but as has been said, there are more important upcoming events for you to think about!

As for the venue getting “pelters” from people who are presumably upset at missing their holiday, some eejits STILL don’t seem to have grasped the severity of the situation, they’re probably the types who were/are still flocking to the countryside at the weekends, spreading the virus and cleaning out village shops... I know it’s bad news for us, but the entire Tourism industry (and many others) is going to do well just to survive the loss of business, so I’m sparing a thought for their predicament.

In the meantime, all we can do is Stay at Home, Support our fantastic NHS (and all the other vital workers who are keeping the country afloat), and by doing that we’re literally saving lives. There’ll be plenty of time to enjoy each others company and our magic wee motors when this horrible episode is over. Stay Safe everybody!
