New Covid 19 restrictions
Its really sad news this evening that we as a country are to go back in to a one month lockdown. Not that I agree or disagree with the decision but we were wondering if the CAMC sites would be closing like we did back in March. I know a lot will depend on us being allowed to travel between regions etc, I guess it may be a case of watch this space. Keep safe out there Guys 👍
Moderator Edit:
None of us yet know what's going to happen regarding site closures until the club releases a statement. However, we already have a thread "Latest Government information and Club Sites", which I've now made 'sticky', and that's where I'd expect Rowena to post any new information so I'm locking this one to avoid duplication.

There’s no point in sites staying open really.
"Overnight stays and holidays away from primary residences will not be allowed- including holidays in the UK and abroad. This includes staying in a second home, if you own one, or staying with anyone you do not live with or are in a support bubble with. There are specific exceptions, for example if you need to stay away from home (including in a second home) for work purposes."

As you say Tinwheeler it's pretty clear really, we had a trip booked for later in November so it may be just a case of pushing it on a little. Main thing is we all keep safe and well. We are both retired so in a way we are so lucky, really feel for those with jobs, mortgages and children. So sad 😢

I'm only asking a question N700JAF, and yes I do understand the gravity of the present situation. I have not put a post on here for a long time...... I remember why now

Apart from the fact it has to go before parliament (they don't work weekends it seems, even in a Pandemic) Strange, I seem to remember getting hauled into work when things went wrong on a Saturday.🤔
I suppose it is reasonable to give businesses some time to react. Our son will have to reorganise staff and contact customers. In the case of CC sites, I assume some will stay open for long termers. So those will need sorting and members affected will have to move onto them. Unfortunately, as you say some will use it as an excuse for a party.☹️

I went into hibernation a week ago. Drained down the mototorhome and jacked it up. It will stay like that until freedom returns. Even the trips before lock down felt constrained and not really as enjoyable as normal times and I found myself questioning, was it worth it?

C, have you actually looked at the figures of the rise in hospitalisations & deaths?, I’m struggling with this whole lives are less important than money thing🤷🏻♂️. To put it simply-the economy can & will be rebuilt, lives of the ones we love will not come back. This is the only way to control it until a vaccine is proven. I guess the Spanish flu was viewed as Armageddon but we are still here. . .So is the economy. Eventually this will be over, the economy will be rebuilt. A lot of our fellow citizens are in denial of the gravity of covid-19 & are ignoring the rules. They are hidden amongst us, during a full shutdown they can be seen👍🏻

The PM was castigate for not taking swift action in March and then having acted he was accused of ignoring parliament in doing so. Now he is acting, some say late again, but taking it to the house for ratification before Thursday and again some suggest he is getting it wrong by doing so. Too late, too early, not enough consultation, too much consultation / procrastination. There certainly seems to be many wrong ways, is there a right way? Answers on a postcard C/O Barnard Castle GPO.

I don’t understand your point C🤷🏻♂️. I don’t see it as a versus at all I see it as lives are more important. . .Period

I don't think it 'to little' David. Until I know more detail it may be slightly too much. It depends on the effects on small businesses. I hope that it does not effect small builders, kitchen fitters, etc and their suppliers to the extent of the last one.
I do think it far later than it should have been though. It should have happened 2 months ago IMO

There can be only one way. Close all UK sites, before Thursday. With Wales changing lockdown a week tomorrow, Scotland having different rules, some will no doubt try to find ways round any regulation. It has to be easy to police/enforce so any anomaly needs to be cut off. Simples really.

That is certainly a problem but I think it will be far worse when thousands of student decamp from uni for Christmas and bring the virus home. Whether or not the NHS will be able to cope in mid to late January when the wave hits remains to be seen.

I suppose that, in many regards, we went into hibernation back in February. I still intended to rent a dethatched 4 bedroom house to take daughter and grandsons away on March the third for a week but would have been keeping well away from other folk.
As far as other holidays were concerned we decided that the time was better spent at home with outstanding jobs outside. We have 15 days booked at the CMC Southport site from mid December but, in reality, I doubt that we shall go.

It does cost lives too I agree👍🏻. It’s a balancing act with lives, the few for the many-not great for sure but until we have an alternative magic bullet it is what it is🤷🏻♂️☹️
