UK Games Expo #PlayWithConfidence
The UK Games Expo has signed up as part of The Good To Go initiative through Visit Britain meaning that they are adhering to all of the safety standards that are required of events in light of COVID-19. As part of this, UK Games Expo is hoping to pave the way and #PlayWithConfidence. Here's what this means...

Look out for more information on the UK Games Expo Website and watch out for an interview with the people behind the convention this Friday as part of The Weekender. We will obviously keep everyone abreast of the situation in the weeks and months leading up to the show in July/August and we'll see many of you there!
Are you going to be picking up tickets and attending UK Games Expo 2021?

Let’s hope you all can go…. lucky gits… I’ll be here staring at my screen…
If there is a real expo I expect extensive coverage from OTT!
We do have plans for coverage of the event through OTT 🙂
Are they….. cunning plans mylord?
Says Justin Baldrick.
Hope nout go’s wrong to screw up the show?
So how exactly do the ‘lateral flow tests’ work?
Do they rely on honesty of visitors? Do you have to test while you’re at the expo?
You get the test from a local test centre, can’t do a home test, then bring that to the show if I recall. I might be wrong but there will be more details in the interview tomorrow with UKGE in the Weekender.
If it’s anything like the ludicrously priced tests that you have to get coming back into the UK from overseas… there’s no chance I’ll be going to the expo.
Already costs enough with venue tickets and train travel.
Strongly suspect I’ll be skipping the show this year.
Lateral Flow Tests are free to request, particularly if you have a child at school. They can be administered at home (I do it twice a week!), although you can also go to a local government testing centre. The result becomes visible in 30minutes and then you are required to report it to the Government website, which then texts you and emails you. I suspect that UK Games Expo will want to see the text or email on your phone.
I have no link to UK Games Expo so it may not be what they are after.
The BMJ has some interesting articles on lateral flow tests. Overall it seems that they are reasonably good at detecting positive cases when used multiple times. Multiple tests offset the low accuracy of any given individual test. So relying on a single test result taken <24hrs before entry to the show seems, to me, not particularly sensible.
I’m really confused over the requirement for the flow tests. All covid restrictions are ending in June why would the government continue to pay for a service when no one is staying masks anymore and people are back to doing what they want. All seems a bit odd
Good luck but no way would i pay to go in to a crowded enclosed space during a pandemic. Third wave looking likely?
All must test… no I pass thanks, by then I would have had my second (and last..sod boosters) bloody jab. But this may be dropped in the coming months….
