UK meetings
It's quite simple: arranging meetings to wrestle here in the UK is, currently, illegal, even if you've had "the jab".
I'd like to think that MF members are as shocked as I am by the repeated match requests posted by certain UK members of our community.

Thank you for your comment, TravelnWrestle - but sorry you feel that way.
Actually, I did message the person concerned direct. His response was ... brief!

2/13/2021 6:28 PMIsn't it a bit rough to publicly tear a strip off another member?
As for re-starting, it seems clear that the end to this pandemic is not going to be black and white and, while it certainly seems too soon now, I see differences of opinion ahead. I hope that nobody's personal decision is going to cause rifts within the community.

I remain quite upset that people in our community should feel it's OK to try to arrange illegal meetings in this time of global pandemic. I don't want to appear "holier than thou" but I think posting such requests does a dis-service to us all.
Ironbull (who always writes such good sense and who is someone I respect very much) is right: my original post was maybe a bit out of order. For this I apologise. I have re-edited the original post so it is slightly less intemperate.

Depends if you're going to literally tear and strip them when it is safe to meet I guess.

Now that's food for thought

2/13/2021 9:51 AMI agree that we should hold off meeting, hopefully not for much longer.
Regardless of whether you’ve had the vaccine or not - the legality of meeting is clear - it is against the law, plain & simple.
Wonder how said member would feel if his selfishness inflicted Covid on another member?
Add to that, even if both men are Covid free- an £800 each fine for a match - is it worth it!
I implore Admin to take some action - block U.K. match requests until it is safe for us to meet!!

2/13/2021 6:58 AMI appreciate how straightforward you are regarding this. Fighters can't keep denying the current reality for far too long in this site.

2/12/2021 11:45 PMEven I’ve had my first jab (key worker as work for the NHS) and there are a few members who I would love to wrestle, but even I’m saying ‘no, not until COVID has gone’

John Cousins - you are absolutely right. Yes, we all have people we'd love to meet! But, just now, we know we can't do so - so we hold off. We MUST.
The guy in Birmingham? Well, words fail me.
And, Mr Cousins, whatever you do for the NHS ... THANK YOU!
