Graveyard. I'll have to check that nobody in the graveyard was associated with the slave trade in the 1700's. We might have to remove their gravestones. History is history. These merchants, plantation owners and even slave traders were operating under the conditions of their time. Some of them made vast amounts of money, others just earned a wage to put food on their table. My wife worked in the Glasgow cigarette factory. I expect WD & HO Wills, Players, etc made a lot of money from the slaves. Whilst slavery is wrong, it is still happening today. I think we should educate our way out of the past and ensure we take care of our own social problems within our own time period. Removing statues will not remove the deeds, good and bad. Our society was founded in our history and our future history will be the way we handle the wrongs within our society now.

Good morning all.

Happy birthday.

Good morning all.

No I Have not. I have spoken directly with Ian Evans and he told me he had spoken to someone in Scottish Government. All he has ever received is a referral to the Scottish Government routemap out of lockdown. Similarly when he was speaking to Westminster, just referrals to the guidelines. Ireland have a fancier who is a member of the Government. Wales has been extremely difficult to receive any information. The RPRA have looked at the guidelines with a view to servicing their Members and interpreted the relevant guidelines. They have then issued their own guidelines on how to meet the arrangements required. Part of their guidelines were that Conveying organisations had to check Government and RPRA guidelines to ensure they could meet the relevant standards. These conveying organisations then inform their Clubs whether they re going to operate. The Clubs then decide if they can meet the arrangements and inform their Members. Every individual Member has different requirements and must decide for themselves whether they are able to meet the arrangements. Simply put, every individual is responsible for their own safety. I have posted this before and I have personally informed Gordon Turnbull that was the position. Gordon then decided to allow training under similar provisos. Thereafter he issued a series of statements retracting from his position. It is only today that he has announced similar to his original decision and apparently after a meeting with RPRA officials. Why he could not have accepted the word of one of his Council members and checked with the RPRA before his original decision, if he did not check at that time, I do not know. Absolutely nothing has changed since his original announcement, to my knowledge.
