COVID-19 restrictions reminder

Hello,

With the Senior Harriers been back for nearly 3 weeks of club training with COVID-19 social restrictions I just wanted to remind people of the rules and procedures that were implemented before we started back.

These were created by myself with guidance and support from Scottish Athletics, our committee and East Kilbride Sport Club COVID Coordinator. 

Before members get complacent please read the rules and procedures again (Alan has put quick links on the blog) now that we are back and ask yourself am I following the rules, do I understand them and do you observe other people not following the rules?  If you have any concerns you can approach me, Russell, Anne, Frances, Alison, Alan, Andy & Lorraine who are all committee members wither it's in person, email, WhatsApp or mobile.

So this brings me onto to my key point.  We have agreed in our rules with East Kilbride Sport Club that when we arrive for training we meet in the club gym and not collate at the front door. Also for members to santise there hands upon entering the East Kilbride Sport Club. The door handle to the sports club is metal and if a lot of people keep touching that and not cleaning their hands you are creating a link for the virus.

The sports club doesn't want groups of people hanging about the door which can be intimidating for other users of the club trying to enter or exit and it only takes 1 person to complain.

Stage 3: Arrive for training

• Please arrive between 7.10pm and 7.30pm maintaining a 2m physical distance from everyone else
• Hygiene - On entering the Sports Club please use hand sanitiser situated in the reception area (between toilet doors)
• Packs - Please meet up with your pack in the club gym area. Male members enter through Gents toilets and female members through Ladies toilets.  Join your pack before and during session. Everyone else maintain a 2m physical distance

Stage 4: Training

• Leaving order will be once all members of your pack have arrived you can go
• Leave a 3 minute gap between packs leaving the Sports Club
• Packs will exit Sports Club through the fire exit door in the gym
• Maintain 2m physical distance with other packs when doing all aspects of your training

All this is for everyones safety.

Thank you for reading and take care,

Richard (COVID-Coordinator)
