[QUOTE="Phil, post: 166627, member: 4151"] It's not been mentioned yet but I think the BTS may be subject to what the government are considering this week about "mass gatherings" Guidance on what constitutes "mass gatherings" based on current Coronavirus guidance is contained in the following link, but basically if more than 250 people (tick) and in close proximity (tick) with potential danger to event organisers and visitors with underlying conditions (tick) then I think we may have to resign ourselves to the very sad possibility of the BTS being cancelled. :( [URL]https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/large-events/mass-gatherings-ready-for-covid-19.html[/URL] Furthermore, I know the BTS is often an opportunity for many UK residents to get to buy tarantulas form many of the European breeders that attend. As Europe is currently being classed as the new epicentre and travel restrictions in place, their attendance could be limited. Unprecedented times indeed and I suspect it will go right to the wire before a decision is made. Stay safe everyone. [/QUOTE]
