Although rural and cases in our direct area not too high, I welcome Tier 3.

Anything that will curtail shopping, pubbing and mixing is most welcome, just a shame Xmas is not cancelled and moved to a more appropriate date and time next year, where get togethers and family meals can be had in perhaps a more safer environment.

Govenments (any?) is in a bit of a cleft stick when it comes to trying to balance the problems this virus has inflicted on the world, when it comes to trying to keep those that still think it "does not apply to me"safe from themselves with the size of different countries and their populations spread also how "democratic" they are with how they enforce it on their citizens

A thousand indoors too, I just don't understand the thinking when we can't have more than six of us outdoors.

Posted on 27/11/2020 11:11

Yes, I'm a big sports fans and would love to be able to get to see my team playing again (impossible anyway with Bristol in Tier 3), but I just don't see the justification for it.

As somebody who lives close to one of our sites (York) which is in tier 2 what are the club doing to prevent people from tier 3 coming and staying in the area and putting the local residents at greater risk?

On my last trip in September I found I was not relaxed enough to enjoy it even though the restrictions were not that great. It would be even worse currently and with the strong likelyhood of a vacine on the horizon, I can wait the winter months out.

That was pretty much our view as well. Last year in December we spent a few days at Bladon Chains. We were blessed with wonderful, if cold, weather for the three days we stayed there. It was nice to visit the House and grounds, Woodstock and we even walked down to Churchill's grave having a coffee on the way back in the local pub. If we were to do the same this year half of what we did the year before would be missing. So what is the point? We are perfectly comfortable where we live as we have many scenic options for walks from our house.

They don't actually mention any restrictions in the email though. Which was sent to me living in a tier 3 area, saying sites in other tiers would be open from the 2nd.

Also the following statement, in the email, just mentions booking something else in a lower area, if your tier 3 venue has been cancelled. Nothing about not doing it if you are now in tier 3.

"These new restrictions in England will initially be in place for two weeks, so if you are due to stay at these campsites between Wednesday 2 and Wednesday 16 December, we would very much appreciate your help and support in amending or cancelling your booking(s) online through our website or App. Please check our website for the latest campsite information to find alternative open campsites."

The Club has the home address of each Member. If a Member from Tier 3 tries to book into YRP, or YBG, it will flag up their home address. From there, it is likely to be blocked. The only exception previously was where someone had been touring and hadn’t been at home prior to the Tiers being introduced/amended. That won’t apply in England from 2nd December, as all areas have been in lockdown.

Perfectly happy here to stay in Tier 3, there will be more shops open for those desperate to get into them, but it’s reduced our rates drastically. It’s legislation for the covidiots, but needs must.

Christmas? Get ready for the third wave, it will go pear shaped because self control is waning on a larger scale.
