Even if school caretakers and administrators count as key workers some schools may close due to whole family isolation and also due to amalgamation due to teacher self and family isolation. Just as an observation after the Basingstoke show was over the school started disinfecting where members of the public might have been.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 18, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) CANCELLED 18th April Narrow Gauge South 202 - Update Wessex Narrow Gauge Modellers (WNGM) have been closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19. Today the venue confirmed that as a result of the latest Government guidance all external hirings were being suspended until further notice. In consequence of that decision it is with sincere regret that Wessex Narrow Gauge Modellers have decided that Narrow Gauge South 2020 is cancelled. WNGM, the organising team and myself are understandably dissaponted. I believe that the show we had created would have again been exceptional, with high quality layouts and an increased trade presence. That this is not to be is a necessary result of the unusal circumstances prevailing at present. The WNGM committee understand that this is a difficult time. Personally I have appreciated your messages of support and I hope to be able to present Narrow Gauge South 2022 in due course. Please pass on my apologies and thanks to your teams for their hard work preparing for the exhibition. Keep safe and well. Yours sincerely Tim Couling Exhibition Manager Wessex Narrow Gauge Modellers Edited March 19, 2020 by PaulRhB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2020 Gaugemaster in Ford, Sussex, from their Facebook page: It is with regret that due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation and the current government advice, we have decided to cancel our Bahnfest 2020 event due to take place on Sunday 5th April. The shop is still open though, hopefully it will remain so too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted March 19, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2020 Stow Rail in May is also off As you are probably more than aware now the model railway exhibition world is shut for the duration. Regrettably StowRail is no exception and it is now cancelled. I’ll be in touch if I can salvage anything from the wreckage and see if we can try again sometime later. Thank you for your support, Best wishes, Andrew 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEAMYAKIMA Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) TBH I think it is safe to assume that every 'event' in the UK will be cancelled until the middle of June at the very earliest - and that is a very optimistic view in my opinion. Our PM yesterday said 'hopefully we will get on top of this in 12 weeks if everyone complies fully with government policy' 12 weeks is mid-June and it appears that many people are still NOT complying with government policy yet - I rest my case.

I agree; I think we can now assume that every event before the end of June is cancelled whether or not we have been formally advised of that by the organisers. Even if some organisers are determined to go ahead, I suspect they will end up with one layout and a second hand stall in the middle of an otherwise empty hall!
