To InfiniTier and beyond ....

Tiers, tiers and more tears ....

Daft question but as of Friday, is it 4 people allowed to meet outside, like a bigger bubble, or as long as the total number is 4 we can meet others?

Are we allowed to travel out of local authority area to meet outdoors with other households? We’re over 100 miles away from family and friends and desperate to see them!

Summary from Friday
up to 4 people outside from 2 households also for socialisation and including garden

12-17 year olds up to 4 from 4 households outside

Organised outdoor sports up to 15

Travel restriction for childrens organised sport lifted

Placed of worship up to 50 if social distancing allows for communual worship (prob won't change weddings or funerals) from 26th March

@Lorelaithe1st I was wondering that as my parents are in the next local authority (only 15miles away). I would have thought it needs to be people within an authority?

Still a big fat no I'm afraid

Quite a few significant religious events coming up soon though.

@Justmuddlingalong It is 4 from a max of 2 households. U17s ( might be 17 and under actually ) can be up to 4 from up to 4 households.

I don't think you're allowed out of your area for social purposes but are for regulated sports.

@rookiemere

BBC usually has a good summary *@runningpink* . Public worship to be allowed from 26th March. I mean I know I'm a egregious atheist but really should religious services be a priority?

I was thinking that too but then thought, well, congregations tend to be made up of mostly people in the older age groups who are vaccinated so why not?

Not sure if it includes funerals or weddings though. Maybe not as they wouldn't be allowed that many guests in a hospitality setting afterwards.

Plus side I'm finally allowed that drink of wine and fire pit in the garden with my pal..... Downside it's due to pee it down great.....

Off to hunt for a sail cover!

Frustrated there's no change re travel limits - no family within the limits. Sigh. Maybe I need to take up 5-a-side football I'd chew my own leg off before getting involved in football
I'm clinging to the hope that if the positive trend continues, that will be lifted sooner than originally suggested.

It's good news for teens, although plenty of them are already meeting up in groups of more than 4 anyway.

Thanks, @LizzieMacQueen. What I mean is can DP and I visit DS1 and DIL in the morning, and then visit DS2 and DIL in the afternoon? Or do we have to pick 2 people and stick to them until restrictions are loosened again?

Thanks folks.
I didn’t want garden visits yet due to purely selfish reasons
I appreciate that it’s actually a good thing overall though for most people

Nah that's contact sport @ICouldHaveCheckedFirst so don't bother

I don't think it's a 'bubble' thing @Justmuddlingalong

Garden visits are shite in Scotland in March

@Justmuddlingalong not a bubble, you can meet others as before and still just 2 households but can be different households each time

@Lorelaithe1st travel restrictions still apply with flexibility for children's organised activities only

So if DH organises to meet 4 friends for a hike is that organised group exercise and now allowed?

Yes if they have a designated covid officer who has done the free online training and have a risk assessment in place, a start time and finish time - the sports guidance will help 😉

Oh and as long as the hike is in your LA and all of the people are from there.

It says organised group exercise so I guess it depends on your interpretation of this unless further clarification is issued

@dancemom

It already exists under the sports section of SG and then the affiliated body also has information.

Crucially it doesn't have to be a paid for activity just properly organised with a designated covid officer, risk assessment, start and finish time and within LA.

So it's things like a cycle club, wild swimming, hiking etc and max 15.

hmm they can meet those criteria scottishskifun - wonder if we'll see a mushrooming of outdoor exercise groups.

Outdoor exercise makes sense.

Are the dry ski centres getting to open yet?
