COVID-19 Update - 26th August 2020

As things are beginning to ease a bit more, the instructors have had a discussion as to the way forward. Obviously this will depend upon the availability of the different halls we use and therefore the different classes may restart at different times. The classes will also have to be run differently (at least initially – things may change over time as the situation develops):-

• In keeping with the 2 metre social distancing rule, some classes will need to be smaller in number, depending upon the size & shape of the individual hall.

• The classes will be of shorter duration - so that one class has time to leave the premises before another arrives.

• No refreshments will be served, but members can bring their own water bottles.

• As the numbers per class are likely to be restricted, members will not be able to attend multiple classes in different locations. Members can only attend one class - usually the one where they pay their fees. You instructor will be in touch with you about the arrangements once your class restarts. Please do not turn up “on spec” to a different class, even if you normal class has not restarted.

• Due to the large numbers normally attending some classes, it may be that members will be divided intogroups, which will be on a rota and only have a slot every two or three weeks. That way all the members get to attend and it is not just a case of “first come, first served” every week. Please do not turn up “on spec” on a different day.

• No fees to be paid until January 2021.
