John (PercyUrwin) and myself are leaving early on Saturday morning to drive straight to POL, this normally starts around 10am....then we are booked in to the Bromesgrove central for Sat and Sunday night as the National meet is on the Sunday.
A nice leisurely drive home on the Monday, if your going to the Frimley breakfast meet John and I will be there if you want to have a chat about it.

Just a wee update.
Last I heard , POL is still going ahead however if this changes I will post up and PM everyone who is hoping to attend.

Given the current situation, I suspect it may be cancelled or postponed but that's just my thinking.

My thinking is, it will be irresponsible of the organisers to go ahead with POL. They cancel because of rain, but I suppose a pandemic causes no damage to the grass. People seem to weigh the risk to themselves. How about the risk of a milkman, courier, or postman contracting it at POL, taking it to work, then taking it to your homes.

Personally I don't see PoL happening. Every day the Covid situation is progressing and it's only a short matter of time until large public gatherings are banned. If that doesn't pull PoL then it's likely the weather will!

Just seen on Facebook it has been cancelled, it had to be expected really.

Yes, I've seen it. Also advice is to avoid gatherings where possible although they're not being banned officially. It all comes as no surprise really.
Use common sense and stay safe everyone.

Hi

See they are saying this meet has been cancelled, looks like the rally season is going to be in tatters
Sorry couldn't make it even if it was still on as I would have to go into 2 weeks isolation if I leave the Isle of Man when I return as thing stand as of today, so for now staying put.

Simondi · 16th March 2020, 19:38

Yep. Sad but fully understandable in the circumstances
