March 2021 FFF Update
FFF Update March 2021
Well now, we seem to be moving towards a few restrictions being lifted which is in a way good news. The bad news is it is a wait and see situation especially for the schools, pupils and teachers and the NHS. Very sadly in my locality a school opened Monday and was closed by Wednesday when 8 pupils tested positive on the first day. The really bad news is there is now a question mark over the validity of the test results so again it is wait and see but we must keep a positive attitude on all that has been achieved.
The message here is that it is too soon to drop our guard much as we want to as there are still too many people ignoring the guidelines which will probably lengthen the time it takes to get complete control of this virus. The NHS Front line workers are still under tremendous pressure and I do not wish to add to it by becoming another statistic due to selfishness.
Yes, let’s get out and mix where possible but I for one am still keeping my distance no matter how much I want to hug a relative or friend and seriously want to get groups of those members of serving in HMAF and veterans back to the waterside but regrettably too many Mentors and the MOD consider it a little too risky and I respect their concerns so I shall have to wait.
We have however been able to get a few out individually but the coarse fishing closed season is upon us now but thankfully a few trout fisheries are opening so we will continue with individual outings where feasible.
Please checkout the Events page as we have two important great fun Events for all Covid permitting.
Stay safe, stay well and enjoy this precious small taste of freedom until we can all move around with impunity.
My best thoughts to all who support FFF, families and friends and the public as a whole as I feel it will not be too long before we can get back to doing what we love.
