Following the announcement of intention from the UK government this evening, I am going to note the following:


  1. I am not going to impose a limit on people coming to this event however, for BotFest 4, I am not going to encourage spectators to come (in short, roboteers only). By the time of BotFest 5, I want that to change but we can only see what the situation is then.
  2. Face coverings (unless exempt) and hand santisation are still going to be required. As an event organiser, I do not feel comfortable in saying that this can be lifted at the moment given the situation in the UK.
  3. I may still need to take contact details at the event for the purposes of track and tracing. I'll be seeking clarity on that.


As a reminder, the event is being held on the 24th of July from 11:00 - 18:00 at the following address with the usual BotFest specific rules:

St. Lukes Church
Poulton
Wallasey
CH44 3BD

To allow as many people to come, I'll be doing the draw on the day.
