Default May 9th-10th Nano Cancelled

I think we all knew that the 2nd meet of the Nano season would be very unlikely after the March one was cancelled, therefore its not news really saying that My event is not going to go ahead.


I think we may somehow be able to think of the July one going ahead in some form or another, maybe allowing cars to be parked 2 meters apart and if the cars need work again people would have to stand well back, then again would the cars be clean & sterile enough to work inside of if work was needed to be carried out inside the car.

Out side engine bay etc is not as bad I presume but who knows, lots to think about if we did go ahead, would the manager allow it because of the social distancing?

Only thing we can do at the moment is keep looking in to see where we stand, stay well & stay safe cheers Arctic.

I've just read that if all goes well with this week's review tomorrow, Boris may start lifting a few things as early as Monday in his Sunday announcement. I don't expect it to be much, probably just work and school related, but once we get going again if the virus stays low further sanction-lifting should be forthcoming! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Have a feeling that Pubs will be amongst the last to re-open.

Such a shame as was hoping to attend a couple of nanos this year.

Let’s see what Boris comes up with on Sunday unless he has gone on paternity leave and go from there, I will ring Damon at the Ashes for a chat over next couple of days and report back

Default FA Field blocked off.?

I had a drive past the Four Ashes today what I saw was quite astonishing, the carpark and been section off into to parts with massive concrete blocks the ones you see on the motorways?

I presume to stop anyone getting onto or through the gates of the field we use, just behind the fence left of the gate was piles of house hold waste, wood, fridges, beds, etc so it looks like the fly tippers have been on there so its been blocked off.

I hope it does not stop us from using the field if they open again sometime this year

PS Rob did you give Damon a ring ?

Hi Arctic,

Thanks for popping along.

Mindless, thoughtless, scum.

Just because the tips are shut doesn't mean you can dump your rubbish on any bit of convenient land you can get to.



Andy.

Looks like the Four Ashes is back on the market again as a tenancy so could be a while before we get back on there

I went past today too Steve, and the scene at the Ashes is as you found, there are still concrete blocks on the car park to avoid anyone getting on and using the field which is presumably aimed at travellers, but the car park on entry is still accessible and big enough for a few unwanted visitors so I do hope someone is keeping an eye on the place, one sign of some encouragement was a sign on the door which I would like to think has been put there by Damon rather than the owning company but who knows.

Default Meets this year most unlikley?

We now know that the FA is back up for a tenant, therefore it is most unlikely we will have any Nano meets this year, unless we find another place which I doubt every much.

(Below is what Rob (trebor) as posted on another thread.

I have been in contact with the owning company twice in recent weeks trying to find out what the situation is after lockdown.

After first of all asking me if I wanted to take the pub on ( I said no ! ) they have now confirmed that they are recruiting so I can only guess that means Damon has left, which is bad news because it means it wont be straight back to business as usual after lockdown and without a tenant in there we have no meetings, so possibility the 1st meet of the year might be September or worst case none this year at all.

The owning company do not enter into any conversation just a few words in reply so still some mystery around it all, maybe Damon was still in a period when he could pull out of the deal, and he may resurrect it when lockdown ends but i think we can only take things at face value and plan for worst case which could be another venue on a temporary basis when we are allowed to meet again. )

June is definitely not going to happen, but keep looking in as the info comes to us it will be posted.
