                    COVID-19 UPDATE - September 2020:

- We are open for regular weekly bookings for activities which are permitted within the regulations. 

- Our COVID-19 risk assessment is here. Face coverings needs to be worn indoors as all times, unless you are exempted or the lead hirer says you can remove them for a particular activity. 

- The commitments that we expect from all of our lead hirers in relation to COVID-19 are list here.

Rule of six - We are permitted some groups with greater than six attending. Please check that your activity has an exemption under the regulations if you wish to hold groups greater than six.

You still need to arrive and leave in groups less than six, and not congregate in groups of six at anytime - other than for the exempted activity.
