Club Corona Update – 15/5/20

, ,

Following changes to lockdown, and updated information provided to the club by England Athletics the club committee have updated the current club Corona guidelines. 

The full England Athletics guidance can be found here: Guidance update for restricted return to activity (for coaches, leaders, athletes, runners and facilities)

The club position in line with guidance provided is as follows:

All Club runs continue to be suspended.

Any club activities must be virtual or solo; such as committee meetings, virtual ‘races’ and social activities conducted virtually such as coffee mornings.

Individuals are free to run as many times a day as they deem appropriate to their fitness, or safe to do so.

Individuals may run with members of their household

Under the guidance individuals are permitted to run with one person who is not a resident at their house. In doing so they MUST adhere to social distancing guidelines such as keeping 2 meters or more apart.  The club recognises some people may wish to run with a friend as it is now allowed.  Please consider your and other people’s health, circumstances and risks when making the appropriate decisions on this point.

The club will update guidelines should they change in the future and communicate any changes promptly.

The club committee would like to thank you for your continued support and understanding. We’d also like to reiterate that if any members need support in this challenging time then please do reach out to the committee or your Welfare Officer Katie Price for support.

Unbreakable: The Western States 100 Documentary

,

Bored yet? You’re currently either embracing your inner Homer, living like a professional athlete or wracked with anxiety and boarding up the windows…

Luckily ‘Unbreakable – The Western States 100’ has been made free to watch on YouTube. The incredible 2010 race was followed from start to finish, looks at the origins of the iconic 100mile race and explores the very different personalities that take on and excel at such an incredible distance. Also features a 22 years old Kilian Jornet wearing an all white outfit that must make him cringe deep in his soul.

Enjoy:

Coronavirus Update – AGM, Gala, Arden 9

Last night K&D Committee had a meeting to discuss pressing matters. Minutes will be posted in due course but we wanted to update you with a brief note on where we are; to let you know training might be off but we’re working behind the scenes to put our ducks in a row where needed. Your committee will ensure that when we meet again we’ll be in the best shape possible to support you and our community.

AGM: We obviously can’t have 100 of you in a room for 2 hours in April. We are discussing formats and structure. We are looking at online solutions among other answers in order to ensure the smooth running and handovers. We hope, in the extraordinary circumstances, you will bear with us while we do what we can. We will keep you fully briefed.

Gala: Ticket sales for the Gala have been paused while we speak to Hogarth’s. Cancellation on our part will incur a large fee however we are looking at all options with Hogarths. Hogarths of course may be forced to close doors to events before any decisions are made. We will act as quickly as we can and update you immediately.

Arden 9: We have sadly had to cancel this year’s Arden 9 in the interests of your safety. If you had already entered you should have an email. If you haven’t received it email the club and we’ll go through refund/carry over options with you.

Our Promise to You:
We as a committee will not let you down during this period of profound difficulty. We will support you through as a family, and we will return faster, stronger, and closer knit that ever. You may be self-isolating but you are not alone. Please reach out to your green and gold community. Your committee, your friends, your team mates will all be there for you however we can.

Best always,
Knowle & Dorridge RC Committee
