My interpretation of SI 2021 1416 laid before Parliament today is that it would not require Tom to inspect our COVID passports / negative tests before allowing us entry. It would be rather a dramatic change of format if he’s planning on allowing us to dance or to provide live music.PhilW wrote: ↑10:00 Tue 14 Dec 2021Agreed - while politely worded, this should (imo) be mandatory for attendance, not just a request.Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑00:19 Mon 13 Dec 2021 A small request to those attending on Thursday evening. Please could you take a lateral flow test at some point on Thursday and attend the tasting only if you are negative.
That way we will put our family Christmases at the least risk possible. Thank you everyone.
Suggest adding to first post also, as reminder to anyone checking arrangements there.
I believe from Wed (and hence applying on Thu), venues including this one will be mandatory by law to ask for proof of covid vaccination (unless medically exempt) or recent negative lateral flow for entry, so we should expect this also; but even if vaccinated, I agree we should all lateral flow earlier in the day as well anyway.
While I agree that testing should be mandatory, I think the 10 people attending on Thursday are honourable and trustworthy enough to each do the tests without me having to resort to being draconian. I will add it to the first post though - thank you for the suggestion.
