Tier 3 EA COVID guidance

EA advise that in Tier 3 outdoor organised coached activities for adults and children, carried out within a COVID secure environment, are allowed. Numbers are not limited in such groups but coaches must not exceed a ratio of one coach to twelve runners. Runners should avoid socialising before and after the session. Unorganised and non coached activity is permitted but are required to follow the rule of 6 and socialising before and after should be avoided. If running on the road you should avoid running into tier 1 or 2 areas.

Over 18’s living in tier 3 can travel within their own specific tier 3 area to train or compete. Over 18’s living in a tier 3 area cannot travel into another tier 3 area, nor into a tier 1 or 2 area, to train or compete. As far as we understand all 32 London boroughs are one tier 3 area.

Under 18’s can travel across all tiers to train at their club and/ or compete.

Volunteers (including coaches, leaders and officials) may travel across all tiers where necessary to enable participation to take place. This should be kept to an absolute minimum

In tier 3 you must not meet socially indoors or in most outdoor places with anybody you do not live with, or who is not in your support bubble, this includes in any private garden or at most outdoor venues. In view of this and with great regret the clubhouse will be closed from Wednesday 16th December.

YOU need to do what YOU feel is right and safe. When making these decisions please consider your safety and the safety of others.

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a happy and peaceful xmas. I look forward to seeing you all back at the clubhouse when the virus has reduced and restrictions have been lifted. Stay safe.
