From the Chairman, January 2022:
As the COVID pandemic continues to evolve and the number of cases grows, the committee has updated guidance, based on recently revised government guidelines:
- For physical meetings, including associated groups, you must wear a mask unless you are exempt. Attendees must be fully vaccinated or have a negative COVID test from that afternoon. We will use hybrid meetings whenever possible.
- Please do not attend a physical meeting if you feel unwell, or have COVID symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who has them.
- Government guidance: “If you’re in contact with someone who may have been infected with the Omicron variant, you must self-isolate for 7 days, unless you’re fully vaccinated.”
- We will not seek evidence of vaccination or negative tests. We rely on our members to act sensibly for the protection of others and themselves.
- This guidance will be reviewed as the situation evolves.
PRINT COMPETITIONS
Because the number of print entries has reduced, we will revert to our original system of including all three classes on the same night. This gives a full programme and ensures that all classes can compete in five rounds in this season.
The dates for the print competitions in the 2021/22 Season are now as follows:
Round 2 – 15th November 2021 – General; Intermediate; Advanced. 2 print per member.
Round 3 – 10th January 2022 – as above.
Round 4 – 14th March 2022 – as above.
Round 5 – 11th April 2022 – as above.
Print Final – 23rd May 2022
