Good for them, & shame on the Cheltenham Race committee who callously put profit before public safety in proceeding with this year's festival.

While I know that this was the right decision and I fully support it , I am so gutted that I will not get to see so many old friends , play some music and get drunk with people who do not look at me stange if I mention a DAC .

I really hope this will go ahead at a latter date this year .

I posted this link in the keg worth show anyone attending thread:

In case the message hasn't got around yet, unfortunately the Kegworth show this weekend has been postponed due to the current Corona virus situation

A real shame as this year was going to be the very first opportunity for me to be in the UK and able to attend.

very dissapointing for all those who have hired rooms and packed up kit but a necessary decison i guess

That was my job for today :) please I read the update before doing so . ;)

well done , the Mrs has just got in from teaching students from North Italy who are showing signs of headache and looking poorly so you can see how Covid 19 can spread to so many !!!

Maybe, but one is largely an outdoor event and t'other's an indoor (crowded) one. Actually, there are so many differences in the events that comparisons border on the odious. With Cheltenham, you don't need to attend if you're simply a punter/spectator, but Kegworth involved serious commitments by the contributors and dealers and even two + days is not a lot of notice. However, it's postponed and not cancelled. We await the virus proliferation figures for Cheltenham, which I'd imagine will be low to zero. I feel quite hoarse from writing all that!

I get why they've done it, but let's put this into context, you actually have less chance of contracting then dying form Corona virus than either winning the lottery or being struck by lightening, think about it...... i think as long as we are sensible, stay at home if unwell or think you're coming down with something, wash your hands more regularly and just be a little more thoughtful then we should be fine

O well look at it this way You can get on with something more constructive in life. :D

Oh so those vulnerable people like my wife on cancer treatment shouldn't take it too badly if she pegs it.

What did you have in mind Andre? I was looking forward to a weekend of not doing anything constructive, but now my Saturday has already been filled with work :( But health comes first, especially for the vulnerable.

Still, every cloud and all that - I have a shitload of cakes, biscuits and Ferrero Rocher, which were earmarked for Kegworth (to make my music choices more palatable) which I'll now have all to myself :)

FFS there's always 1, i didn't say that and I think it's summed up in my comment about being sensible, clearly if you are already ill or are undergoing treatment for a serious illness then you need to be very careful. BTW you're not the only person affected by cancer, my dad died of it when he was 50, i was in my 20's at the time, it's a terrible thing and i hope your wife does better than my dad did.

I posted that 14 minutes ago - just how long do you think Ferreros last in this house? Apart from that, sounds like a plan :)

Quite low-calories for an Italian sports car :D Actually the Ferreros are still in the van since I bought them, Mrs. P knows not of their existence ;)

Allen, you were going to be my first port of call at Kegworth, as you are by far my favouritest truck-driving, boat-selling, speaker-hoarding, hifi-rack-almost-finishing, poncey coffee-drinking insomniac exhibiting there. I'll be sure to bring more when the show eventually does happen :)
