Keswick 2 Barrow sponsored walk cancelled for any Cumbrians on here.

Thought that’d be safe as houses, with it being out door and everyone being spread out.

No trail running events have been cancelled yet, but most of the Winter ones tend to be quite low numbers - 75 / 200 max competitors.
 
There was some talk about using pupil premium funding to potentially support those children through vouchers/food. I’m not sure of the logistics of that, because quite a lot of it is already accounted for. Perhaps the government would have to stump up, but this is a Johnson/Cummings government were talking about.
I've just asked the wife again (school finances are her bread and butter) and that money will have been allocated for the academic year already, if not actually spent.

If funding from future years were redistributed, we'd be in a situation where money required for staff/resources would have to come from the central grant.

Basically, it is a good idea in many ways, but it would have a massive impact on schools' finances in the long-term: redundancies; reduced offerings.
 
Well, I for one applaud them. Putting two fingers up to the disease. They may all die and they know that, but they will die together and they will die with a bit of pride.....
As far as I am aware two figures gesture doesn’t count as a vaccine and the reasons they stated is they believe it is “overblown” rather than they know “they may all die but will do it with pride”.

The argument would be that each eligible child is linked with a free school meal and a lump sum which is paid to the school, and so during any enforced time off, that should still be provided for by the government. I do worry that so many children would go hungry.
 
The horse has already bolted. Think about the amount of high profile people who’ve already tested positive.. They’ve probably had access to testing ahead of the general public.
 
No my young friend it is not. Those that have lived a full life look at it slightly differently to those who have yet to do so.....

So ignoring health warnings and dying having fun and congregating is dying with pride.

Does that mean old people being careful and trying to self-isolate but unfortunately catch it should be ashamed?

I stay well clear of the Curren Affairs part of GOT and whoppers like you are the reason why.

Thankfully my elderly parents are greedy and would quite like to live some more of their already full life so are doing sensible social distancing and have their groceries delivered. Keep your pride Pete, I’d prefer to keep my parents.
