/Club gym/indoor training facilities can re-open from 17th May subject to mitigations to be COVID-19 Secure.
It is our understanding that according to Government and BR Covid-19 Guidelines we will be able to re-open the Clubhouse on a limited and restricted basis on the 17th May - assuming there are no further changes to the Guidelines.
A reminder of these restrictions that will be enforced -
Rules/Restrictions” on use of Clubhouse Training Area.
1) Restricted to designated members only.
2) Those attending MUST advise Steve Bull - by Email/Text – so we can list those in attendance and comply with "Track & Trace" procedures.
3) Training times to be agreed by the Rowing sub-committee before commencement.
4) Current social distancing measures to be adhered to, i.e... 1m+ between exercises.
5) Hand sanitisers to be used on entry to the boathouse – with the Hand Sanitizer provided.
6) Attending members can wear masks if they want.
7) A maximum of 7 people + coach at a time.
8) Clubhouse doors to be open whilst training is in progress.
9) No shower/changing facilities – members to arrive and leave in kit. Can use toilets and wash basins.
10) Use of Ergo's to be limited to 7 at a time, promote running as an alternative.
11) All equipment MUST be thoroughly cleaned after use – with anti-bacterial spray provided, any sign of this not being done means closure of gym.
12) All equipment MUST be put away after use, again non conformity means gym closure.
13) Training slots to be a maximum of 1.5 hours with 15 mins gap between sessions.
14) No more than 2 people per activity where weights are used, i.e. 1 exercising and 1 spotting if required.
15) Hand washing to be done before and after training.
16) Users agree that the gym and equipment are used at the athletes own risk and they have agreed to this. Email or text should suffice.
17) No weights exercises are to be done on the blue mats.
18) Gym “layout” must remain unchanged.
19) You should use the Forehead Thermometer provided to take your temperature before entering the Lounge. If you record a temperature of 37.8c/100f or higher or the fever alarm is set-off you should leave immediately and not return until your temperature has fallen below this level.
20). No one who feels ill or has Covid-19 symptoms should attempt to enter the Clubhouse.
You are also reminded that Government and BR Restrictions still apply to the use of changing room and showers - although they may soon be eased - and so the showers and changing rooms cannot be used at present and we must leave the water off at the moment - and before we can turn them on again we will have to test the system for Legionnaires disease infections and flush the systems through and that we will advise when the showers will be turned on again - but in the meantime DO NOT turn the water back on.
Please be aware that the work by Southern Water continues near the Clubhouse and along the Seafront - and access may be restricted - although Southern Water have built a ramp to give access to the Clubhouse.
Steve Bull.
Rowing Sub Committee.
