COVID-19 Information

We have purposely kept the following guidance as brief as possible. For more in-depth information, the UK Government and NHS UK website have more details.

As long as the CoronaVirus is still present, we ask you to please follow the following guidance.

There are some Do's and Don't's we would like you to observe

Please do NOT come along to the meeting if, at any time between now and the meeting:

If you can:

Please have a lateral flow test on the Thursday, Friday or the day of the meeting.

If COVID-19 positive, DON'T come.

Masks:

• Please bring a mask with you.
• Masks are no longer mandatory. However, do feel free to wear one if this makes you feel safer. For others, please bring one with you (unless exempt) and consider wearing it if talking to someone who has chosen to wear a mask.

Please bring your own hand sanitiser to use if you wish to do so.

Distancing:

• Distancing is not mandatory, but the tables will be spread out more than usual and we ask people to be respectful of personal space.
• If there's a queue at the entrance, please observe social distancing.
• Think about space, particularly in the kitchen.
