Meets during 2020
Hi All,
In light of the Covid 19 Pandemic and subsequent Government advice concerning Social Gatherings, together with Pub and Restaurant closures we will not have any Meets in this area for the next Four months. The Clandon Classic Car Show has been cancelled. The Ugly Duckling and Frimley venues are Closed. I hope you all come through this Pandemic unscathed. Be careful out there, Peter. |

Meets
Gutted as I'm sure we all are. We'll meet again not sure how, not sure when....to paraphrase the great Dame Vera

A shame, but sadly necessary. On the positive side, I reckon the next breakfast meet will be the best ever, whenever it happens.
Stay safe everyone, Cliff

Awful
News, such a shame. Could we not try to arrange a sort of meet in an open space and bring our own picnics?

I had thought about this (admittedly for the South East) but I think even that contravenes the government advice / orders.
Additionally, if somehow photos got into the local press, bad PR. And on this occasion, I think bad PR would stick, as bad PR. Sorry to put another dampener on the situation, but as Teflon reflects, our next one(s) are likely to be pretty big. Mike

Even though we all can keep our distance, we all should weigh up the situation each time. |

If that doesn't come off because of the regulations, how about a 'Live stream group' using WhatsApp/Messenger/Face Time with people connecting through the use of their smart phones, the phones camera and screens. Not ideal and may not appeal to anyone? I am a member of a WhatsApp reprobates support mon ami group which meets almost every day by text or by video. The group consists of car enthusiasts, members of the OC who no longer visit, but all very good friends. There is no moderation and it survives It can work |

Hi Gate keeper, impressed to hear you are so up technologically. I am hopeless, still haven’t learned how to upload photos on the site.
Best regards, Jennifer, now on 2 months unpaid leave and all the shops shut and air travel closed down!

Just out of curiosity, will there be any meetings in August or September?
Provided I can sort out the issues the old girl has, I'd be interested in attending a meet or two. Chris |
