An update message from the C&B Chairman regarding COVID-19
Getting C&B Walking Again………
After several months of organised walking exclusion I am happy to let you know that our Group has now restarted a programme of walks.
On 30th July the Ramblers announced that walks could restart, subject understandably, to restrictions based on Governmental regulations and guidelines to which we must adhere. Well, firstly, ALL our walks are subject to a Booking procedure administered by each Walk Leader who will limit the number of participants as considered reasonable and manageable. It is expected that some of our walks may, for the time being, be shorter than ‘usual’ and that it is anticipated that the pace will be more leisurely. Clearly, all participants should observe social distancing and other regulations and guidelines such as frequent hand sanitising, avoiding touching hard surfaces etc.
Whilst I am sure that many members will welcome this COVID-19 Secure restart it is hoped that Members will fully understand that these limitations and guidelines have been introduced not only to comply with the Ramblers but in the best interests of the safety, health and wellbeing of all our colleagues.
Addendum. It has been confirmed by the Ramblers that from Monday 14th September the regulations as far as 'organised walks' are concerned have not changed.
Regards,
John V Champ
Chelmer & Blackwater Chairman
