Travel Arrangements

With regards to the various weather warnings that have been publicised, as a duty of care for all concerned, please take extra to review travel arrangements if you are out and about, but more so to assess whether club session delivery can take place safely.

Venue Temperatures

With the cold conditions outside, all clubs should be mindful as to whether they can keep their venues or facilities which they hold their sessions within at a warm and comfortable temperature.

As we support some vulnerable groups and individuals, all clubs should make judgements on whether their facilities are capable of providing an environment which the sessions can be held in without causing any problems to members.
