For reporting large gathering

[specksdrugsandsausagerolls]

Name changed for this because it might be outing. My neighbours are horsey and have about 30 acres of land.

I bumped into the husband this morning on a dog walk and asked him what the big marquee was for (they have all kinds of horsey events on there throughout the year - camps etc). He said it was his daughters 30th so they were having a hog roast and disco tomorrow night. He then said me and my partner would be welcome to join if we wanted, I just smiled and thanked him and then as I carried on my dog walk I got more and more irate thinking of all the people coming from all over to my neighbour for this party - I wished I'd said something but honestly I was so surprised they were doing it!
His wife then invited me via FB to the FB event - it has 120 invited with 87 marked as "going".
I'm not a fun sponge, really I'm not, but with coronavirus I think this is wholly unnecessary. I'm also not usually the sort of person to think of reporting people but we're rural, we have been blessed with low numbers, I'm angry they're doing this. WIBU to report them and if not... how?!

I don’t know OP. I’m not crazy about the notion of reporting at all (not unless it were a rave or something).
They might all be social distancing..., masks etc..?

YABU. Leave them to it. Transmission in the community is very low. They are all adults and able to risk assess. If you don't want to go, don't, but please don't report them.

Ha! There is a similar thread on this subject matter, though involves a wedding.

Legally : If not in the house, garden or environs and if not on public outdoor space and if not on business land then it is legal - whether more or less than 30 people.

Morally : Not OK, is the general consensus.

Yanbu.

Just leave them to it. Their decisions. I’d keep well out of it.

Why would you bother reporting them. Most of the country has gone back to work and school. Children and adults are mixing in large swathes across the country for work. It’s only gatherings like this that aren’t allowed. Which makes no sense with the current state of things.

OP Mind your own business

My kids are about to go into a ‘bubble’ of 200 children each, and then come home and go off for their hobbies into another ‘bubble’ of 15 children, each of whom have been in other ‘bubbles‘ of 200 children each. Let’s face it, lockdown is well and truly over. Wash your hands, wear a mask in enclosed spaces, and there’s not a lot else we can do now.

Are they likely to disturb you?

I wouldn’t report it, as it’s outside, but I wouldn’t want to go at the moment either. At the moment we seem to have 2 groups of people, those carrying on as if nothing has happened and those like me and my family who are still very cautious and not going out except for exercise and a bit of shopping.

The age of the person celebrating their birthday suggests that some may be parents, who could catch the virus and spread it via children at school, all of them being asymptomatic.

I think you should report the matter. You want to continue being blessed with low numbers.

I'd report it.

It's outside, you get more people than that in parks

Just don't OP.

Like PP have said, there are two types of people on all of this. Those who want to carry on as normal and those still locked down like they were in March. Regardless of which side of the fence you sit on, leave the other side to it and stop getting wound up by what everyone else is doing. You do you and you'll be OK. The thing that has made me most mad in all of this the people who expect everyone else to adhere to their interpretation of rules/guidelines.

I don't think I'd feel comfortable reporting my neighbour which would involve them getting a £10,000 fine (I think that is the amount for a gathering).

Pubs and restaurants have more people in them. Schools have bubbles of 300. Let them get on with it and enjoy themselves.

If you don't report it I bet someone will, probably already has. They must be mad to risk the huge fine.

It's against the law so morally you should report, I guess.

I wouldn't report it.
But I find it very annoying that my dd can have a wedding of only 30 people in a venue that holds 200 and the photographer is not allowed to move from one spot and yet someone can have a big 30 th party.
Absolutely ridiculous.

The just leave it attitude is probably why I can't visit my mum in Glasgow right now. There is very little chance they are going to socially distance, especially when they start drinking.

Omg hundreds and thousands of people are going to pubs and restaurants every day! But you're worried about 80 people?!

My dd is in a bubble of about 250. This is what it is. Agricultural land from what pps have said is a loophole.

Don't report them, just don't go 🤷‍♂️
