All,
We have completed our risk assessment process and subject to any further changes in government guidance, we feel that we are able to open the club in a Covid-19 secure way.
Our initial hope was to open on 2nd October, but changes in guidance from Boris's speech on Tuesday have yet to be passed to community centres and therefore the intention now is to hold the first club night back on 16th October with a further club night on 30th October. Should anything come from government between now and then that impacts on our current assessment, then we will need to review - but as it stands, we should be good to go.
These two sessions will allow us to trial the risk assessment we have in place and the sessions will be subject to restrictions around attendance (details of which will be posted shortly).
We will form an opinion around dates for November nearer the time - as in recent days, things have changed quite quickly - and what the rules are come November is anyone's guess.
I will post up the risk assessment that we have completed and allow members to contribute their opinion and see what changes we are proposing. We will essentially have 4 tables per evening available for booking and details of the booking system we are proposing will be released shortly too. The main aim of the booking system is to achieve fairness to members.
Each table will be subject to the current 'rule of 6' and masks/visors will also be required on site.
Neil (on behalf of the committee)
