**SUMMER SAILING** 
Update regarding Juniors - Covid-19
Author:
Date: October 28, 2020
We have received updated guidance from our sporting bodies
and the Government that clarifies that
- Junior
training / coaching (Children of school going age are permitted to train) for both
Tennis and Boating.
- Unless
deemed essential ALL facilities must close. Accordingly, our shed must now
close also.
Apologies for the changes and rather frequent updates, but
we are simply reacting to the guidance from our Sporting representative
associations and from Sporting Ireland and the Government. We are passing it on
as soon as we possibly can in what is a very fluid situation.
In the meantime, stay safe and if you need assistance,
please just call. We have volunteers just ready to help.

FURTHER CHANGES TO RESTRICTIONS FROM TENNIS IRELAND
Despite the guidance on Club activities provided last night and
this morning, unfortunately I must report a significant change.
Tennis Ireland have amended their instructions and requested all
Clubs to suspend ALL Tennis activities. This includes junior coaching.
At this time guidance on boating remains unchanged.
The situation is fluid and the Sporting Ireland expert group is
meeting later today so we may see further changes.
The Management Committee will endeavour to keep you up to
date.
Yours sincerely

LEVEL 5 COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT
Regrettably,
we now face into further restriction during this new lockdown and we must
adjust our Club activities accordingly. Over the last 48 hours we have been
working with our two representative sports bodies to clarify how the
regulations apply to us, and they in turn have been working with Sporting
Ireland and the Dept of Sport. As a result of these discussions, the
following will now apply.
Tennis
- Outdoor Courts can remain open for restricted
play.
- Singles Play is only allowed on a casual
basis for exercise purposes only.
- Doubles play is allowed only with member from
the same household.
- Players to live within a 5km radius of the
club
- There should be no adult training, coaching or
matches.
- Players must have a pre-reserved playing time,
and all details recorded for
- Children allowed to travel beyond 5km to
train
- Coaches allowed to travel beyond 5km to work
on children’s training programme.
- Junior Outdoor Coaching must only take place in pods of 6 per court with a
maximum of 4 on court at any one time and staying in their section of the
court.
Boating
and Sailing
- Boating and Sailing may continue for Individual living within 5 km
of the Club but on an individual basis only
- There will be no events and no competitions
- Training of Children of school age may continue once using the pod
system and up to a maximum of 15 people.
- Coaches and Children can travel beyond the 5km to support a children’s training program
General
- The Club house must remain closed
Discussion on certain issues continue so I would not be surprised if we see further points of clarification in the next few days and weeks, but for now these are the regulations that apply.
We have
been specifically asked to remind our members of the reason for the
restrictions and the need to observe the spirit of the guidance to protect
ourselves and our community. Our reputations and our sports reputations are
also at stake.
As
earlier in the year, we will put in place a zoom coffee morning once a week so
that friends may interact in a virtual world. If you would like to be involved,
please let us know by email and we will try and link you in.
In the
meantime, let us look out for each other and if in difficulty or feeling
isolated, please let us know and we can arrange some assistance. Despite all we
say about each other, deep down, we are a real friendly bunch!
Stay
safe
