Thread Name: Too old for folk when this is over
Subject: RE: Too old for folk when this is over
I tend to agree with Acorn 4: we are doing less and less travelling: 10 years ago it was great to visit our daughter and husband while they lived in Singapore, and go on to see friends in Australia. In 2015-2017, we joined the cruise-niks and had 3 lovely holidays, though could never get away from the hand-sanitisers as the cruise lines were still paranoid about outbreaks of norovirus (luckily, escaped any of that!)
Now in the position of choosing the venue for a folk club AGM in early September: can it be in the usual premises - but socially distanced - with our without masks on (masks on would scupper me as being hard of hearing!) - or all at home on Zoom? I would go with the latter, tho some would not.
I am also in 2 ceilidh bands, and it is hard to see when, particularly set dancing, will be deemed safe again. And in the one band, average age is over 70!
