best if try and keep the topic about covid restrictions related to events 

expanding things to cover anthrax and bird flu ain't really welcome

thanks !

 

I'll stay out of this one then as my opinions facts and truths etc will obviously offend and certainly don't fit the narrative.

it's a topic about events and covid restrictions

which is being discussed in our main soul forum on here

as such your thoughts on bird flu and anthrax are off topic and as said not really welcome

It's not that hard though. I've been to a couple of gigs in recent months where they needed this. In both cases there was one person on the line asking to look at everyones phone for the QR code and then waving them in. Younger demographic perhaps though because 100% of attendees had a smartphone which may not be the case at every soul do.

I'm sure if 40,000 plus fans can be checked at football matches, a couple of hundred at niters being checked is hardly the most difficult thing out there, and as for some older people not having smartphones, it's easy to get a paper copy showing proof of vaccinations from the NHS website.

It is a simple process but as usual people want to make it difficult

I mentioned in the football thread that its been trialling at the kp for several weeks, literally takes a few seconds to show the covid passport on your phone.

I've seen half a dozen local events cancelled this weekend and beyond. I know a few did go ahead on Saturday but numbers were down a bit. I wonder if we'll be following Holland, Ireland and Germany shortly?

What? Over 80% of the population are double vaccinated and yet they only make up 33% of hospital admissions and virtually none are dying. 10% of non vaccinated population make up 65% of hospital admissions. Maybe maths isn't your strong point if you think vaccinations aren't working. Never said you couldn't get covid when double jabbed only the chances of death are negligible. Have a great day.

Maths isn’t my strong point either lost count of how many last posts you have had  !!!

The strict 'rule change' after 1 am is the main antagonist to events...those finishing before 1am are pretty much business as usual in respect of rules/regs

To me it would make more sense to finish before 1am and avoid the legal restrictions around the covid status activities,,but hey ....some wanna go for it...so be it

Ours at Gainsborough , the Weston Rooms has been well attended over the last 3,   Aug, Oct and Dec,  the December 1 was the lowest turnout but still nearly 100 people in the room, which is comfortable with seating well spaced, we had quite a few messages from regulars not attending because of covid .   Ideally that's the sort of number we would like to keep it at for everyone's comfort , we only do about 6 a year  with next not until February . [ Imho overkill is just as bad as covid ] .Ticket only may be the way forward to keep numbers at comfort level, we did have people turn away at the August 1 because they felt too many were in.   It's not going to be easy and people will have to make there choices to venture out or not. Try and keep safe everyone and a happy new  year to one and all.

Got a message through a couple of days ago that the Philly Soul Club NYE bash was sitll going ahead in Sheffield & spaces were available due to previous uncertainty so it's certainly taking effect, but Philly's ending at one so the as I understand it the nain restrictions won't come in to play

Went to NG4 on Monday night, fairly full but no particular issues. Amazing how things can change so much within a short space of time. I think natural caution and time of year will keep numbers low anyway. Can't really be bothered myself for NYE.
