Club update 03.12.2020

The Committee have discussed the risks and benefits of reopening the club, following lockdown. 

Provided the current risk assessments and the following are adhered to then the Club will reopen for Sunday shooting from Sunday 6/12/20

The NFAS Committee are concerned with the safety of all members. Life will not be back to normal for a while yet and we all need to be responsible in keeping each other safe. These guidelines are published in conjunction with government guidelines published on the 23rd November 2020. Archery can continue in COVID-19 safe locations only if risk assessments have been completed prior to the activity and where social distancing can be observed. 

The latest risk assessment will remain in force until further guidance is received:

All members should comply with all government guidelines, if this changes at short notice then government guidelines take precedence. Further government guidelines can be found here.

Please be responsible regarding travel between tiers and check the government guidelines. Tier 3 should not travel to other tiers as a destination. Tier 2 can travel to tier 1 but should follow tier 2 guidelines when there. Tier rules may change, and government guidelines take precedence. Please remember that the maximum group number outside at all times is 6 people in all tiers. 

  • The practice range is closed until further notice.
  • Groups of archers must space themselves at least two pegs apart at all times.
  • Groups of up to 6 are allowed,  but only if you are comfortable with this and can socially distance at 2 Metres. It is up to members to be sensible and proactive in this matter. 
  •  Please park so you can enter and exit your vehicle and prepare your equipment at least 2m away from other archers. 
  • Only one archer to go forward to retrieve their own arrows.
  • Supply your own hand sanitizer and use as required.

Anyone that has been in contact with someone who has, or is suspected as having, Covid-19 must not attend the club grounds.

We recommend that anyone with vulnerable people living at home should not attend the club/woods/shoots unless government guidelines or personal health permit. Do not attend club/woods/shoots if you have symptoms such as a new and persistent cough, have a temperature, or loss or change to the sense of taste and/or smell.

Due to the variety of other symptoms reported recently as possibly associated with the virus, as a precaution it is advised that you also do not attend the club/woods/shoots should you start feeling at all unwell in any other way. This is subject to change at any time.

Thank You for your compliance during this difficult time. 

Rick (on behalf of KLFA committee)
