We have, at all times, held out hope that as the year progresses, our meets could take place as planned. However, as time has moved on, it has become increasingly clear that this is not going to be the case. With many of our meets involving overnight stays, the lack of clarity has caused difficulties for people booking to stay. In addition, the government guidelines which seeks to limit multiple households meeting together means that TowersStreet cannot endorse our meets.
Clearly, we are not in a position to stop anybody going to experience these events in their own, smaller groups – but for 2020 at least – it’s over and out from a meet-up perspective.
We are, at least, able to cling on to the one meet that did take place at the resort in February.
We hope that our meets can return in spring 2021. As soon as they’re permitted be in no doubt – they will be back!
Thank you.
Throughout the season, we escape the confines of the interwebs to meet with our fellow members for rides, fun and good times! Everyone is welcome, and you’re a little apprehensive (don’t worry, everyone is!), feel free to take a look at our meets guide and FAQ which should answer any questions you have. Our Forum is also a great place to get to know others before coming along.
TowersStreet’s 2020 meet calendar
We have meets planned throughout this season, however a number of them have now been cancelled due to the Coronavirus outbreak. We’re constantly reviewing our future meets, and these are subject to change depending on how the situation develops.
If you’re booking accommodation for future meets, we strongly recommend you either make a booking which is full flexible or if you have no alternative to book non-flexibly, wait until closer to the meet date to make a booking.
