Promoting Torbay
I have set up an account on Mastodon (https://mastodon.org.uk) in order to help promote Torbay in South Devon, UK and what is has to offer.
This is a small project, I am not getting paid to do this, but hopefully, in undertaking this I am able to demonstrate initiative and other useful skills.
I will be adding photos and information / links to local attractions, etc.
Hopefully see if the local Tourist board will look in to getting on the Fediverse more formally, to help promote.
As the UK is in another Covid19 lockdown, to avoid yet another holiday season being written off, The cost to the local economy, if this happens, will be catastrophic. Why not take the time to explore as many ways to promote the local area and business as possible.
One way to get the fediverse to grow is to perhaps have accounts such as this, as it gives people a reason to join as there is something interesting to follow.

Current coronavirus restrictions in Torbay
We must act to control the spread of the virus. When we reduce our day-to-day contact with other people, we reduce the spread of the virus.
- Only socialise indoors with people you live with, or who are in your support bubble.
- If you meet up with others outdoors, keep to groups of six or fewer, and make space – keep 2 metres apart if possible.
- Whatever you’re doing, think COVID and think hands, face, space.
- If you think you have the symptoms – please book a test and self-isolate.
If you have symptoms of COVID-19 you need to self-isolate immediately, alongside anyone you live with, and book a free test. Only the person who has symptoms needs to take a test.

Torbay Tier 2 restrictions 9/12/2020
To help you do this, we have summarised the Tier 2 restrictions below.
- You must not socialise with anyone who you do not live with indoors, unless you are in a support bubble. (see further down this briefing to learn more about bubbles).
Outdoors, up to six people can socialise – this is called the 'rule of six'.
- Businesses and venues can continue to operate in a COVID-secure manner, unless closed by law. (Find out what COVID-Secure means on gov.uk)
- Pubs and bars may only open if serving as restaurants. Hospitality venues may serve alcohol with food. Early closure applies to many venues.
- People can attend spectator sport and indoor performances but there are limits on how many can attend. For example, Torquay United will be welcoming Gulls fans again this Saturday, and have asked them to follow their code of conduct.
- Places of worship may open but whilst there you should only socialise with people you live with or who are in a support bubble with you.
- Weddings and funerals can go ahead but with restrictions on how many people can attend. (Check what the restrictions are on gov.uk)
For more information, you can read the full details of the restrictions for tier 2 on the main gov.uk website and you can check what current restrictions apply in Torbay on our own website. NHS Website

CPD Update – 10th July 2020
Just completed week 1 of Teaching Primary Science: Getting Started with FutureLearn
I intend to take this, along with a few other related courses aimed at supprting STEM in schools. Hopefully this will lead to paid employment Open to discussion directly with schools.
I seem to have quite a lot of STEM related knowledge e.g:
Chemistry
Astronomy
Electricity
Digital logic
Basic programming
So would really like to support STEM in schools.
Note: I will not get a certificate for this because I cannot afford it, so will just do the free route and link to my profile which should provide sufficient evidence of undertaking this.
