Some organisers going to have to refund sharpish. Why? It's a sporting event, outdoors with an ACU permit Sporting events are exempt from the 6 or less, are permitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing on the ACU site this morning and still accepting entries for trials. I guess we will see. (I think we are a very low risk and the current measures are working OK and are sensible so fingers crossed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownee Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Wouldn't be able to see the logic in stopping a non team sport where social distancing can be maintained versus a team sport where the majority of the time its impossible to maintain social distancing...

nhuskys Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 This from an ACU Facebook post.... ACU Ltd Chairman, Roy Humphrey commented, “While social gatherings of more than six people will be banned in England from 14 September, the UK government advice has confirmed that organised sports and activities can continue. Our motorcycle events are organised and provided Organisers follow the guidance issued through our individual Risk Assessments, then the venues are Covid-19 secure, but, initial Local Authority approval will still be required prior to any planned event as there may be increased local measures in place that differ from national guidelines” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyboxer Posted October 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 So with the new lockdown, will practice grounds close and trials be cancelled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisCH Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 ACU website still taking booking at present but I think the details are not yet fully known. My best shot at it is we will be shut down. That seems to be the news media view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboxer Posted November 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Looks like all Motorsport permits, for the new lockdown period in England, have been cancelled by the ACU tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
