While perhaps not employed at clubbies to any extent, Police and Fire brigade personnel are usually employed in numbers at events like Goodwood MM / FoS / Revival? How would they cope without all the police traffic control, I wonder?

All seemed pretty clear to me. They didn't specify indoors or outdoor.

“Now is the time for everyone to stop non-essential contact with others and to stop all unnecessary travel. We need people to start working from home where they possibly can. And you should avoid pubs, clubs, theatres and other such social venues,” Indoors/outdoors not specified, but the examples given are indoors and no upper limit of numbers gathered, which is presumably why MSUK want a bit more clarity. I'm not disagreeing with your interpretation of the clear intent, just exploring why MSUK haven't immediately decided to stop all motorsport events. |

I think you'll find they also mentioned large gatherings or similar. There is also the issue of not supporting large gatherings. All pretty clear IMO.

Yes, to quote from the Guardian:
'Johnson said the risk of transmission of the disease at sporting events was relatively low, "but obviously, logically, as we advise against unnecessary social contact of all kinds, it's right that we should extend that advice to mass gatherings as well".' "Advice" is much weaker than a directive. Same goes for theatres - advice, not a ban. That means the theatre is liable for ticket refunds - if instructed to close, they would not be. Again, I don't dispute the clear intent, but the words themselves are a little vague. |

I think that the intent is clear, along with the statement that “medical staff will no support large gatherings from tomorrow”.
Now some will argue, I am sure, that the circuits use private medical staff but no one can seriously expect the PM to make a statement which covers every industry and every eventuality. It’s also worth noting that plenty of individual clubs, and other sports, are cancelling events without waiting for clarification. Individual clubs are acting ahead of our own governing body.

As you observe above, and has been said in the MM thread, liability to refund customers or not depends on who cancels the event. Also, whether the organiser can claim from their business interruption insurance, presuming they have it..... |

All sport has stopped, even my lads football team has suspended all matches and training . . . .thats 23 people in 7500 square metres . . . . I think we can forget driving round in circles for a while . . . unless its all closed cockpit cars and drive in drive out, no paddocks with a speed limit and only 1 marshall per post!

Just had an email from AMOC telling me that Thursdays day @ Curborough is 'off'. No surprise.
At the moment Saturdays Javelin day @ Mallory is still happening. |

I'd like to see Motorsport UK come out and stop all motorsport. My club has cancelled all events and meetings for three months but potentially for longer. I am surprised there are a few wanting to continue.

Likewise, our local club has canceled its navigational 12 car road rally on Friday evening.

Just had this from MUK:
Motorsport UK COVID-19 Update It is with regret that Motorsport UK is suspending all organising permits and Certificates of Exemption until at least 30th April 2020. This suspension follows the latest guidance issued by HM UK Government in response to the outbreak of COVID-19. This position will be constantly reviewed given prevailing information. As the National Governing Body, we would ask all Motorsport UK members to act responsibly and follow the Government’s guidance during this difficult time. |

Castle Combe have cancelled all races and Action Days in March/April. I think they originally cancelled into May, but have rolled back on that. All private bookings are going ahead though (track days etc).
