Organised sports have been given the go ahead by the government to resume from 29 March 2021 and so we’re pleased to announce that Stour Striders Running Club will see it’s training sessions resume starting with the first on Tuesday 30 March 2021!
In order to start we’ve had to update our forms and documents, as mandated by English Athletics, so that we can ensure we’re able to operate safely.
With this in mind there are some things we need from you.
1. Complete and return the forms
As with all fun there has to be a little seriousness to keep us all safe, so please go to the Forms and Information page and complete and return the forms. These can be either emailed to hello@stourstriders.co.uk beforehand or returned by hard copy at your first training session. If we do not receive a copy of your completed forms unfortunately you will not be able to attend a training session.
To ensure the safety of our members we want to make sure that all those in our Facebook group are signed-up members of the club and have completed these latests forms. This will ensure our records are all correct but also mean we can post in the group under the assumption that everyone is aware of the rules and guidelines for our in-person training sessions.
By returning these forms you are confirming that you wish to remain a member of the Facebook group for Stour Striders Running Club. However, if we do not receive your signed forms by 27th April 2021 we will assume that you no longer wish to be part of our running club and you will be removed from the Facebook group. Thank you for your understanding.
2. Tell us you’re attending our events
If you plan to join us on our Tuesday evening training sessions then you must confirm your attendance by 9pm on the prior Sunday so we can safely plan the event. Unfortunately you will not be able to train if you have not confirmed your place.
Events are listed on the Events page and use the new booking process.
Keep on Striding
It’s great to be able to offer training again and get together but we have to be safe, obey the rules, and ensure that we’re doing all we can to stop the spread of covid. We’re aware that some of you may not feel comfortable with attending group sessions at the moment but it would be helpful if you can still complete the forms for when you do return and please do keep in touch on the usual channels and keep on striding.
