Would you go even though it's breaking the rules?

So, in a bit of a dilemma. Last year a group
Of us 8 adults, 9 children booker a uk camping trip for June. Covid hit so we postponed it until a couple of weeks time. However, now they have changed the rules to 6 only. So we rung the campsite and they aren't happy to change the date again. They said come or loose our money, we have all paid the balance of a few hundred pounds.

We can't decide what to do. Two of the families have made it clear they are still going and describe others on the campsite who might be worried as fun spongers! The other three families are unsure what to do. We don't want to loose the money but aren't sure how social distancing would work with the kids.

7 of the nine children go to the same school and 5 of them are in the same bubble anyway. The parents and I see each other everyday and chat in the playground.

We have hired 5 pods between 4 families so would be sleeping separately as a family unit within the rules. The adults have agreed we can social distance and will have to do planned activities/meals in family groups or groups of 6. But I know the kids won't social distance. They are used to being in a bubble of 48 at school.

What shall we do?

I mean it's against the law...

Sounds like some of the parents are being arsey anyway.

I wouldn't go at all.

I would go

Go as a family - adults keep your distance

following arbitrary rules won't influence whether or not you become infected.

Following sensible distancing rules may,

I'd go. But like, I don't camp .

We would go as a family and treat it like we are as a family. So sleep in our own pod. We are all taking and cooking our own food separately. Three families have booked different tables at the pub for the first night. We have an activity booked the second day which was going to be done as a group but will now be done in two groups.

I think the adults will be quite good at keeping a distance, no one will get roaring drunk. We will probably have a girls table of 4 and a boys table of 4 when the kids are in bed.

One family is coming only for one night instead of two and we are going to do activities in groups of 6 on the Saturday. It does mean either separating as a family or mixing families but one child with one parent in the groups so separated from dh. I will he taking a mask and socially distancing. I don't do hugs and kisses.

I think the kids probably will play together in the kids pod.

You're all in close contact anyhow, so I'd go.
