In light of the new measures announced by the UK Government to control the spread of Coronavirus, the BRAT Executive Committee met on 13th Sept 2020 to discuss implications for the club and its activities.
We are pleased to confirm, that after reviewing all of the guidance, we are able to continue as we are for the majority of our training sessions. This will be reviewed if any further guidance is issued either nationally or locally.
Links to the relevant guidance from the BTF, EA, and Birmingham City Council can be found below:
Importantly, to ensure we can continue to offer Covid secure training, all members must adhere to the following:
- All members must follow the national guidance in relation to Covid-19 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance
- Members must not attend training if they have symptoms of Covid-19.
- All members must register for all sessions they attend using Clubspark https://clubs.britishtriathlon.org/BirminghamRunningAthleticsTriathlonClub/
- Members must inform the club (via coaches or session leaders, or by emailing: welfare@bratclub.co.uk) if they develop symptoms of Covid-19 within 48 hours of having attended a club training session.
Thanks everyone. Please pay very close attention to the instructions issued by session leaders and coaches. We must ensure we are all actively following the guidance as issued, and ensure we remain socially distanced particularly prior to and after each session. We understand that some members may not wish to continue training in group sessions at this time, and we ask that all members are respectful of everybody’s decisions whether they choose to train together or on their own during this time.
If any member wishes to discuss any aspect of the club’s activity in relation to the current guidance, please contact welfare@bratclub.co.uk.
Wishing you happy and safe training,
Chris Davy
BRAT Chairman
