If the event needs an entertainment licence or similar it will not be granted at the moment.... would imagine May shows will be postponed possible June as well until we see what evolves it is possible that the whole thing could change very quickly though

Had an email from the Cereals organisers yesterday, it's still going ahead but situation could obviously change. That's one that will need as much notice as possible.

I was going to the Nuffield triennial conference in Christchurch, New Zealand. Had an email,on Tuesday saying it was definitely going ahead. This morning it has been cancelled due to NZ government being in a rule that anyone flying in has to self quarantine for 14 days. It was due to start on Saturday, I was flying out on Wednesday. Some delegates are already there and others may be in transit.
It was the correct decision in the circumstances but very disappointing non the less.

Brother was on about this morning. Would have to pick out and start feeding bulls for highland show now. Not going to bother in case its cancelled. Sure many will be the same.

Gov scientists on Boris`s press conference couple of days ago said peak was probably 10 weeks away. So looks like most of the summer shows will be affected.

"Postponed" is the wording that they use.
Yes I was going to fly on Wednesday as well, to be honest, i'm quite relieved.
 
There will be no shows for sure this year full stop, no anything in a couple of weeks but just site tight and hope you don't get it. There are already taking about next winter and we're still in this winter.

Wouldn’t be so sure fair chance some July onwards shows could go and possibly some smaller ones as well we will just need to wait and see
