Thanks you for your post Steve and Ferd

I am in constant contact with all those on the list.

This is a fast moving situation with what seems to be daily changes.

It will be very interesting to see what Borris says on Sunday.


However..

I had a long conversation/discussion with Frank (the hotelier) yesterday.

on his advice I have decided to POSTPONE this years trip.

For the following reasons: (which obviously could change)

At the moment the borders are effectively shut (which could change)

There will be no public viewing or car parks open such as Brunchen.

No groups of more than 2 or any other meetings

You will have to sign in to any venue you go into pubs, cafe and restaurants. so they can trace you or notify you if you have been close to any contamination.

The place is going to be overrun with the police, the speeding rules and fines have recently changed and they are looking closely at any modded cars.

Masks will have to be worn.

So the days of sitting outside and enjoying a few beers watching the world go by are not happening yet, may be later in the year.

I cant quote what Frank said, but what sums it up is: there is no point in coming because of all these fooking rules and police will spoil your fun!!


So what I am proposing is to go on the weekends of

September 11th to 14th.
or
October 2nd to 5th. (this is Green Hell weekend the weekend after VLN )



What are your thoughts please ?
