Why is Blackpool excluded?

Of course it’s got to be money! Just like, right at the beginning, Cheltenham Races went ahead.

A lot of money is generated in Blackpool during the September illumination. Money talks. Apparently.

Yes, probably an economic decision.

Why is there a lockdown in Caerphilly?

Because a coach load of people from there went to the Doncaster Races, stopping at various hostelries enroute. Three of them were waiting for their results of COVID tests.

Well, I did wonder, but it all makes sense now ?

Well at least the Flying Handbag Club will be safe!

A classic example of irresponsible, if not downright criminal behaviour!

We could all go there!

How many are allowed in ?

Sorry, that was in response to the FH Club post.

It was highly irresponsible.
People don't care.

Only 6 presumably - not much of a wild night out!

There could be at least six in there already
?

You beat me to that comment Maw! Shucks. I only viewed the thread to say so!

Is at a demographic decision? Are the majority of Blackpoolers (Sablepudlians?) old and expendable?

I think the rugby club was from Rhoda Cynon Taf * Callistemon* The partner of one member said they were only doing the same as they did last year . Say no more !!!!

Oh, I beg Caerphilly's pardon!

BBbevan apparently the club manager is very annoyed at the club being named by the Welsh Health Minister as he said the outing was not organised by the club and that apparently the group went to Doncaster but not to the actual races.
That reminds me of Bill Clinton who said he smoked marijuana 'but didn't inhale'.

And here it is: I was about to put it on the Handbag thread?

Perhaps the owners, staff or clientele have influence in high places?

Never forget though, the higher they climb........etc

I heard that Blackpool illuminations are on untill Christmas this year.
And yes it`s all down to money.

This has proved that it's all about money ( greed ) !
Lockdown ? What a con.

Thank you Callistemon , being from near Caerphilly myself. ?

I'm not that far away but did decline when told I could go to the hospital in Caerphilly for my appointment. If they let me into Caerphilly, would they let me out again?

Mollygo - exactly what I said to DH this morning. We are still amazed Crufts went ahead in March - but a huge moneyspinner for the KC, so although they made the ‘right noises’ it was never going to be cancelled last minute. First year I’d missed for a decade - another time, perhaps?

The only reason the bus trippers didn’t go to the races is because the races had the doors closed overnight, so race goers on Friday then shut down for Saturday!
