COVID19 Training Update (01/09/2021)

We are now in a position to reopen our clubs, but we will take a phased approach on this one club at a time. Currently Bishop Middleham is active and from next Monday (06/09/2021) our Darlington club will also reopen (see the 'Classes' tab for details)

For training, everyone will need to: -

• Renew their insurance (£15 per annum) and the training fee will be £5 as normal. 
• You will also need to fill out a student indemnity form for every session, these can be downloaded from the JAC website: - http://jointaikikaicouncil.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/C19-Covid-19-Student-Indemnity-Form-V1.0-23-July-2020.pdf

COVID-19 still carries risk, so we will act on the side of caution with the following measures in place: -

• Please arrive at each session in your gear ready to train. For new people just comfortable clothing
• Masks must be worn in and out of training facilities
• Masks can be taken off at the start of training
• Students can distance during the warm up
• You will train with one partner for the duration of the session
• Mask must be put back on straight after the session
• There are plenty of mats and space to warm up and keep a safe distance
• Sanitiser will be provided and must be used by everyone before and after training

Hopefully all other clubs will follow very quickly
