1st October - sports clubs

I think the jury is out on that issue 423, and I certainly don't need your apology. Lack of contagion in primary aged children? it's possibly the case but not certainly the case. Secondary aged children? they don't know either way.....as far as I can work out.

Uncertainty is a big problem. Ordinary folk want the experts to sound definite and the experts, once their proclamations have been filtered through the media, seemingly oblige......in reality facts are in short supply. It's a dangerous situation and we need info to work out our own personal strategies.

 Some ordinary folk will only deal with facts and scorn anything else, other more imaginative folk will in the absence of facts indulge in a bit of chat and speculative discussion, they'll sound out others, swap opinions, spot possible strategies and gauge feelings. The second group will always have access to more useful info...... IF they have the common sense to apply filters. It takes a bit more brain power but I know most on this forum have that ability. 

My strategy is forget sailing until the new year. Dragging boats around on shingle without winches, getting changed in the back of a cold van and driving home with a salty chuff is not my cuppa. Clubs and individuals need to toe the line and be seen to toe the line......mind you, if this goes on past April I shall be revolting.

I must apologise to the group, children do drive the flu, but apparently not covid.

Pretty sure it will have an effect,( after all, we sailors must be super spreaders) just not as big as needed.

Walked past 2 riding stables today. Both had lessons going on.

As there is no sailing going for a canoe tomorrow. It also has a sail so if there was any wind I could sail it also as BCU is allowing canoeing. As international canoes are also covered by the BCU I believe their value has sky rocketed.
