Hi everyone,

Following the very popular Coronavirus Concerns discussion, I have created this discussion to continue conversation around the Coronavirus where you can discuss with each other and share updates and concerns.

However, we do request that conversations and comments about politics are not posted as this inadvertently leads to disagreements and arguments as we have seen in previous discussions where we have needed to moderate posts. Please can you keep your conversation free from politics friendly and in the spirit of the community. A reminder of the Guidelines below:

Community Guidelines

Many thanks for your understanding and all your support of Club Together.

Regarding track and trace app on your phones, a Covid tracker is already there on your phone ready to go. On an iPhone go to settings, then Privacy and then Health. On android phones it is in settings then google settings. When enabled iPhone can exchange random IDs with other devices using Bluetooth. This will enable an app to warn you if you have been exposed to COVID 19. It came in with iOS 13.5 on May 20.

That's interesting. My iphone updated the other day to 13.5.1 and the option is there, to switch on once there is an App.

Does that means those with older iPhones, OH has a 5s, which isn't that ancient and there are still a lot about, but is limited to 12.4.7 won't work with the App? If the case it seems rather daft, not everyone wants the latest phone.

The tool appeared after my latest Android update too. It needs Bluetooth and, obviously, the installation of a participating app to activate it.

I really don't have the heart to go through all of the previous letters on this subject, so I apologise if I'm reinventing the wheel here, but I'm sure like many others we have decided to cancel our two bookings for 2020 as we are in the vulnerable category. Two points to make, first, I'd have thought the pull-down menu for cancellations would have an option for "Coronavirus concerns" (as it is we chose "illness") and point two, will caravanning ever be the same again? Surely one of the main areas must be toilet blocks. In the grand scale of things, would it not be a long-term investment for the club to provide full-service facilities on all pitches? This would mean that we could all enjoy complete isolation and "carry on camping" in safety

It's the same with the iPhone I was using until earlier this year which has now been passed to my OH. It makes the whole thing a bit farcical really.

Thanks for this, cousin in London just made us aware. We haven’t done that update, so that’s obviously why we couldn’t find it. Very sneaky😡

It’s all somewhere on the thread Geoff😁 Keep safe, by the time Club charge for a full service pitch, you might as well sell the van and book a cottage!😂
