A dogging group in Chesham is going viral following a post in their twitter page.
The society named Chesham Dogging tweeted that 'Due to the #CoronaOutbreak all of our parties have been cancelled until further notice. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.'

The humorous tweet received 5.5k likes and much celebrity attention.
Journalist and political commenter Owen Jones retweeted the group and said: "The #CoronaOutbreak is already causing havoc for the dogging community. The precious threads that hold our society together are being unravelled."
Piers Morgan also tweeted the group.
Oh no. You'll have to make other plans this weekend, Shuggsy @Lord_Sugar. https://t.co/6zruMwUfKg

The group were also featured on ITV's Good Morning Britain.
The dogging society then linked their youtube channel to the tweet encouraging followers to find out more about their history.
North Road, between Chesham and Amersham, is known as a popular spot for the activity.
Some twitter users didn't find the tweet amusing with one user branding them 'disgusting' and that if they're caught the 'doggers' won't be laughing.
To this the society replied: "We feel like we've done a lot for this town and comments like this make us sad.
"Perhaps we should start doing open days for people who are uncomfortable with the lifestyle."

Dogging, sexual activity in public or watching others engage in sexual activity in public, is not banned under a specific law in the UK, but people who get caught can be charged under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 with public lewdness and indecent exposure.
