In memory of Mike Penman (1964 to 2003)
We will be applying the latest government guidance on COVID-19 measures for grassroots sport in England, based on the following key principles.
Before attending, all participants, officials, volunteers and spectators should self-assess for COVID-19 symptoms (a high temperature; a new, continuous cough; a loss of, or change to, their sense of smell or taste). If you have one or more of these symptoms, even if they are mild, you should not attend and should follow the NHS guidance on testing and self-isolation.
Those attending should consider their own health and circumstances (for example, if you are not yet fully vaccinated or if you live with somebody at higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19), so you can make an informed choice about whether you wish to attend based on the safety measures in place and mitigation of any specific risks identified by the risk assessment.
You should not attend if you need to self-isolate (for example, because you have tested positive or are asked to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace). Follow the guidance if you live with, or have close contact with, a positive case.
In line with the government guidance for events we will be taking the recommended priority actions:
In England, face coverings are no longer required by law, so it is up to you if you wish to wear one.
The government suggests that you continue to wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces where you may come into contact with other people you do not normally meet.
