  • Hand sanitiser will be placed around the change rooms. Players are encouraged to use them.
  • If anyone is feeling unwell, you should refrain from club activities immediately, seek medical advice and where appropriate, and ensure that you advise the Committee or Coach of your absence ASAP.
  • Remember to be sensitive to others as we all continue to talk about COVID-19.
