Social Distancing Rules | Ivy Cycling Club

Hi all - hope everyone is safe and well. Please see below for the latest guidance from Scottish Cycling relating to social distancing and group sizes. Hi all, Following the guidance update from the Scottish Government yesterday, I have had a high number of emails regarding what this now means for organised sport. The updated routemap here, clearly states - the changes to meeting socially do not apply to services or activities that are already exempt from these restrictions and have been permitted to open subject to their own guidance such as organised sport. We have had this confirmed this morning by sportscotland, so clubs can continue to run their activities in line with the previous guidance we published on the 24th August. The key points now which will be reinforced are: The wider societal rules apply before and after club activity. Clubs must reinforce to members that this means a maximum of 6 people from 2 households, indoors and outdoors. This also applies to cafe stops, so please consider this when planning club activities. It is more important than ever that sport demonstrates to the Scottish Government that we are committed to running our activities within the agreed guidance. At present, this means: All clubs should have appointed a Covid-19 Coordinator This Covid-19 Coordinator should be known to Scottish Cycling (submit details here) The Covid-19 Coordinator should have completed the mandatory sportscotland e-learning (find this here) and evidenced completion of this The club should have risk assessed its activities and made members aware of any mitigating measures in place (template RA can be found here) We have today (and previously) emphasised to sportscotland that this exemption to organised sport needs to be more clearly communicated by Government, to ensure that clubs are not confronted by members of the public, who may rightly think, that we are not complying with the government guidance. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to drop me an email. Best wishes, Fraser
