Whilst for “exercise and activity” you must comply with the maximum group size of 4 adults from 2 households for Organised Sport this can be expanded to a maximum number of 15.
What is required for activity to be “Organised”?
– The activity must be undertaken in a planned, structured and managed way;
– Activity is overseen by the appointed COVID Officer
– A documented risk assessment is undertaken (please refer the LSKC risk assessment on the website)
– Contact information for all participants hast to be collected and retained for 10 days for Test and
Protect measures.
– The number of participants taking part must be managed through ADVANCE organisation and registration.
It is only where all these conditions are met that the group size of up to 15 people can take part.
Organised activity does not necessarily have to be run by the club or but it does need to meet all of the criteria above. Please continue to be responsible whilst paddling and ensure you comply with Scottish Government rules and SCA guidance.
Travel: By law, in a level 4 area, you can only leave your home (or garden) for an
“essential purpose”, one of which is local outdoor recreation, sport or exercise, that starts and finishes at the same place (which can be up to 5 miles from the boundary of your local authority area). Travel is not allowed further than necessary to reach a safe, non-crowded place to exercise in a socially distanced way.
The COVID Officer for LSKC is David Grieve, contactable at grieve4@btinternet.com or via committee@lists.lskc.org
