Hi there

First of all a big thank you to the 30 captains, Covid Support Officers, Gate Marshalls and Parent Managers who dialled in on Thursday evening so I and Shelagh could take them through the latest EH guidance and in particular how that affects clubs in Tier 3.

To help you all gain a better understanding we have updated the following documents on the Covid THC Return to Play Info Hub on Pitchero Website:

• Visiting Timperley Hockey Club
• Guidance for Captains and CSOs
• Guidance for Players
• Guidance for Umpires

Detail is included in the captains and players documents on U18s and their particular exemptions.

The key messages are:
No car sharing unless in a family unit or support bubble
Senior hockey cannot be played across Tier 3 boundaries
U18 hockey can be played across Tier 3 boundaries and officials (umpires, coaches, managers etc.) can cross Tier 3 boundaries to enable junior hockey to take place.
U18s cannot cross Tier 3 boundaries to play senior hockey
Avoid socialising post match and vacate the grounds quickly after matches completed

For those of you playing or officiating today have a great time and enjoy your bedtime reading!

Andrew Foster
Covid Officer
