LMC COVID Statement
Following guidance from the BMC on running outdoor meets, the Club is resuming small ‘day’ meets, offering a range of activities, for not only new joiners to get a taste of what we get up, but for the more established members to keep in touch.
The meets list has been updated and is `live` on the leedsmc.org website.
The meet leader will post up the BB a list of places for others to join, filling these up as members post up (as usual). The leader will assess risk based on the activity they are leading.
We want to keep these organised events small, as per guidance. So no more than 6 in an activity group. If there are more participants then two separate groups/locations should be used.
As with the risk of accidents whilst climbing, mountaineering, walking, the meet leader and the club cannot be responsible for any COVID risk. Attendance at an event is purely at the risk of the individual attendees. All attendees should familiarise themselves with the latest government guidance and follow the guidance accordingly.
Our approach ( which is not exhaustive, continually to be updated/reviewed) is as follows;
• We will be retaining records of who attended on a meet, and require your contact numbers to be up to date on the club database for purposes of track & trace.
• You should take Gel/Hand sanitiser and use regularly.
• No sharing of food or drink
• Keep social distance
• Any sign of COVID symptoms from an attendee or a member of their household you should not join the meet
• Positive COVID test result – should not attend a meet until a health official has stated you can return to normal society !
• Follow government guidance on travel
• Meet leader – Welcome briefing to be held with focus on COVID/social distancing
We have taken advice from the BMC information listed here; https://www.thebmc.co.uk/covid19-restarting-club-meets
