SWB Activity and Lockdown 2

[TLS-Moose]

Well, whether we like it or not, Lockdown 2 is about to be thrust upon us. Irrespective of your personal viewpoint, subject to parliamentary approval it will come into force on Thursday, lasting until 2nd December. The following are excerpts from the .GOV.uk website;

"In general, you must not meet people socially. However, you can exercise or meet in a public, outdoors space with people you live with, your support bubble (or as part of a childcare bubble), or with one other person. You should minimise time spent outside your home. When around other people, stay 2 metres apart from anyone not in your household - meaning the people you live with - or your support bubble. Where this is not possible, stay 1 metre apart with extra precautions (e.g. wearing a face covering)."

"You can exercise or visit outdoor public places with:
- the people you live with
- your support bubble
- or, when on your own, 1 person from another household. Children under 5, as well as disabled people dependent on round-the-clock care are not counted towards the limit on two people meeting outside"

"If you live in England, you cannot travel overseas or within the UK, unless for work, education or other legally permitted reasons, and you should look to reduce the number of journeys you make."

The guidance is quite clear - no group meetings, no non-essential travel. As a result of the guidance the site admin team have had a discussion and it has been concluded that no rideout activity should be posted/advertised/organised via this site for the duration of the lockdown. This applies to any currently posted rides, and we ask that any such rides are postponed until after the lockdown period.

We are all sad to have to make this decision but in reality we are only talking about 4 weekends, and hope you all understand and respect the reasoning behind this decision. You are more than welcome to continue to organise rides for beyond the current stated lockdown dates.
