Rejected petition Allow School Sports Days and other outdoor school events to go ahead.
12000 people can gather, daily, at Ascot, 60000 + at Wembley. Why can’t parents go see their children at sports or graduation days? We have missed events that will never repeat. Horses will race again. Footballers will play again. Our children only grow once. The disparity in rules is disgusting.

Either shut down these massive events, or give schools the go ahead to follow suit. It needs to be equal. Parents are sick of sacrificing their children with no end in sight.
