    27/2 - Covid cases in hospital 824, in ICU 74

    that's an overall drop of 55%

    27/1 - 1330 new cases & today it's 525

    The vaccines are absolutely destroying Covid
    Certainly fantastic results and I think I speak for us all that we can’t wait for us to be allowed out to play again in the cars.

    Agreed the vaccination programme is starting to have an impact and it’ll continue to grow as time goes on, but the reduction in figures (after the post-Christmas ‘Boom’) is also due to the severe restrictions we’re all under and will be for a while yet. The combination of the vaccines and everybody behaving themselves is what will get us out of this sh*tstorm. I’m not being a Party Pooper, having been on my tod and mostly in the house for almost a year I’m going stir crazy so believe me I want this over ASAP and the vaccines are our Great Escape, but I think we’ll still have to be patient. If we don’t want more Patients.

    So good news and bad news... I’ll give you the bad news first, Bakewell is officially cancelled :(

    Good news... we’re getting a full refund! Whoop, with that in mind can all involved please PM with their preferred bank details or PayPal details or preferred method of refund and we’ll get the money paid back to you ASAP

    Thanks :)

    That’s a proper shame. I was being cautious because I’m just like that, but I’m genuinely sad to hear the news, especially after all the work you guys have done. Getting a refund is good, but it’s a shame for us, and also for the businesses affected by this, it must be horrendous for them. Thanks for all your efforts and hopefully 2022 will see us having a week in great scenery and even greater company.

    It’s a great shame that we won’t be getting our trip away again this year but we do have Crombers and Karen’s Highland Tour in August that I think has more chance of being achievable due to it still being in the country and a bit further down the line. I still have the Bakewell T-shirt’s etc and I’ll get these out to everyone when I see them or can arrange to get them posted out

    Genuinely greetin at the decision. Having worked at the 'coal face' throughout the pandemic, I really needed to feel a sense of freedom was in sight. What an absolute downer!!

    Cheers for all your work and organisation & hopefully one day we will see, feel & enjoy this establishment.

    Really gutted for everyone.
    Sadly it's just the way it is at the moment but hopefully the future is brighter.
    I'll be in touch tomorrow Megan and William. Huge Thanks to you both for the massive effort you all put in to this.

    Disappointing but at least we know where we stand with it quite a while before. Thanks for sorting it all out
