Whether the event is held of cancelledI'm still struggling to see the otherside with this one tbf
I hope so , let’s have a meet up !Will red tractor have a stand ?
With 11 Countries been dropped off the red lists looks like they can't control no more what ever!i really can not see more restrictions in the UK now - economy simply can not take it and people will not comply, you can only get away with telling people what they mist do for so long in free countries
if you are vaccinated there is nothing to worry about much
if you can not vaccinate for any legitimate reason you have my sympathy - isolation is probably wise especially through winter months
if you can vaccinate but haven’t because you believe in crazy conspiracy theories ……… you are probably about to experience Darwins theory of evolution first hand !
Inspecting for covid?Will red tractor have a stand ?
They won't be there as its a machinery show , don't think they realise arable farmers use machinery and are blackmailed into join rtInspecting for covid?
Well you’d have a long journey and a whole day in a face mask to be fair.it's a no from me
I agree we need to get used to living with covid now but it’s important not to lose sight that restrictions aimed at preventing large get-togethers are to protect the nhs; not necessarily the people at the event. If big events cause a peak of infections and they all go home and infect their families and then even a small proportion of those people need hospital treatment…I’d wager you would be most upset, as would I, if you or a loved one needed treatment and were unable to access it because the wards were full of covid patients. Second point; govt didn’t cancel Agritechnica (to my knowledge) and probably won’t cancel Lamma. It’s the people in charge trying to do the responsible thing. I, like you, mostly know of people being fine or having mild symptoms (apart from Jethro, RIP) but sadly perfectly fit and healthy people are dying and no matter what is said about any government; as was seen by things like the ‘help out by eating out’ campaign etc…you can be sure that the state of the economy is just as important to them as the state of the nation’s health. Fair play to them (on this situation!). Let’s just count ourselves lucky that we are in an industry that’s not as affected as some and if it means missing lamma and having to go on the internet or visiting a couple more dealers yards instead, so be it imo.lets hope not - this is all getting beyond stupid now
people need to learn how to live with flu bugs NOT in fear of them - covid is a fact of life forever more now, vaccinate and get on with life and business or frankly the economy, other health care and life in general is going to hell in a handcart to a point where covid becomes the least of societies worries
Last time I was there 2 years ago I was layed up for 3 days after with all the classic covid symptoms and that was a couple of months before it was officialWell you’d have a long journey and a whole day in a face mask to be fair.
Fully vaccinated, fit and middle aged. Tested positive 6 days ago, today is the first day I am able to sit at my desk and type this. Totally wiped me out, severe flu type effects, serious fever, body aching, loss of taste and very fatigued. Even nearly a week on I am struggling to find the energy to do anything, let alone get outside to any serious work.i really can not see more restrictions in the UK now - economy simply can not take it and people will not comply, you can only get away with telling people what they mist do for so long in free countries

The auto sport show has been cancelled or postponed, I’m quite glad I didn’t book flights for Lamma as not looking good whereas a month ago things were looking rosy!It’s a yes from me on the 12th, as is Autosport International in the halls next door on the 13th (It’s the ‘trade day’, you have to BS your way in).
If I’m going to travel that far I might as well do the double.

Confidence I would sayWhile I agree with most of what you are saying, I am not anti vax as such having had 2 jabs but I do wonder what good they are to me? Being very synical and NOT trusting the government one little bit I do wonder are th3 vaccines for my benefit or the benefit of the pharmaceutical companies.
No because now AHDB have pulled funding they can’t afford the bus fair or the paint for the sandwich boardsWill red tractor have a stand ?
Maybe if they were to organise a ‘trade show’ that didn’t involve the non farming public?Roll on Highland Show maybes ???
Good question. As an exhibitor we have to wait for guidance from the organisers. We can, of course choose to withdraw but then we loose the stand cost charges plus other ancillary costs 100%. To “pull the plug” after build has commenced would be I believe fatal for the organisers. None of this is their fault; they are caught up in this dynamic as are the rest of us. The government need to be more decisive. If I read the scientists correctly they appear to be saying that greater restrictions need to be in place now not later. ROI and the devolved lands will I am sure lead the way again. Let’s see what Conra meeting today decides.COVID-19: Indoor mixing could be banned under two-week 'circuit breaker' to curb Omicron spread - reports
The government's scientific have apparently recommended moving to restrictions seen in step one and two of the easing of lockdown in the spring. This would mean a return to a ban on indoor mixing and hospitality once again being outdoors only.news.sky.com
That takes us to the 10th. But can setup happen?
