Title: Non Essential Travel by Omicron . How will it effect Audax events and riders?
Post by: ruffstuff on 16 December, 2021, 06:41:38 pm: I do hope our UK Audax events will not be subject to no essential travel ? like France ... We dont want the bad and sad days coming back !

Yes, let's have that debate, there's threads for it in POBI. Let's not have it everywhere, multiple times over.

Post by: Jethro on 16 December, 2021, 10:13:22 pm: OK, so vaccinations alone may not be enough, but surely a very big step forward in the right direction.

Many AUK members will want to do their pre-qualification rides for the next PBP soon and although travel to France may not be available for a while, things can only get better with the booster vaccinations surely.

Post by: ruffstuff on 17 December, 2021, 07:21:21 pm: Understand and I'll try to checkout this page.. Restrictions .. 2m rule .. Possible Jan 22 Lockdown for our children ? LEL next year must be a big worry ... Can we enter LEL and pay insurance to cover the £350 entry fee should the event be cancelled ?

Post by: Fidgetbuzz on 22 December, 2021, 11:31:04 pm: I imagine that should we find that we have to call off the event .. we shall go through the pattern of returning pro rata to all riders the remaining funds in our account. This will not be a full refund as inevitably we are incurring costs from some time ago .. and will have to do so from now on with increasing frequency.
please no questions about what the level of refund might be at date XXXXX .. I am not going to attempt to answer that sort of question .. just far too many imponderables. but Danial and I are both very conscious of our reputations in the audax community and would not aim to tarnish them in any way.
