KEEPING SAFE
As we all look forward to coming out of lockdown, it is vital we continue to stay safe by acting in accordance with government guidelines. 

We continue to enhance our measures in accordance with government guidance. Subject to approval from the government, we are planning for all staff to be offered regular testing. 

To ensure you keep yourselves and fellow members safe, please continue to follow our Covid-secure measures:

  • If you have a high temperature or have any Coronavirus symptoms, please do not come down to the club – go and get a test.
  • Self-isolate if you have symptoms, have tested positive, or had contact with someone with COVID-19.
  • When coming on to site, take a temperature check in the ITC and register with the NHS Test & Trace App. 
  • At all times remember to sanitise your hands, wear a face mask indoors and maintain social distancing.

On behalf of everyone working to ensure a safe and enjoyable return for members, we really can’t wait to see everyone again and look forward to opening up more facilities in the weeks and months ahead.
