My husband goes in for surgery on the 5th so I don’t think we can realistically make it and with the Covid numbers I’m thinking I’m not too upset. Having been at the NEC a few times it is very spacious so it’s not like being in a normal shopping centre but not seen anything on their plans for keeping numbers appropriate. Maybe they’re waiting for an update from BoJo

I can't now unfortunately either as we have had a weekend away rescheduled to that weekend (which we should have had in Oct but had to cancel when we got the plague).

I have to say, as far as Covid measures go, NEC are on the ball. When I was there in September they were checking vaccination “passports”, (the one on the NHS app), or negative test results before you could get through the main doors.

I drove up to L’pool today and saw the “NEC this way exit” from the M’way, it didn’t take as long to get to there as I thought it would -

but I wouldn’t go if it weren’t to be a Fetch gathering and the Covid situation doesn’t make it look sensible either.

Doubt if I will go now. Started marathon training and don't really want to lose a weekend. Will possibly go to the one in Farnborough in the summer.

I’m not sure.

About This Thread

Maintained by Velociraptor
22nd-23rd January 2022.

Free tickets using the code FLANCI21 (I'm sure other codes are available).

Interest in a Fetch meet-up, possibly with a parkrun beforehand, has sprung up on the Unicorns thread but this matter transcends eye-searing legwear and deserves its own thread. Who's in, or interested?
