Therefore athletics will go ahead in the morning (18 December 2021). As our activities are run across a very large outdoor area it is classed as a low risk environment.<\/p>\n<p>With no further cases arising at this time, the committee advise that little athletics will proceed as normal tomorrow. Warm-ups 8.30am. Races start 8.45am.<\/p>\n<p>As per standing policy, if you or your athlete is experiencing even the mildest symptoms, we suggest you undertake a Covid-19 test and not attend the track.<\/p>\n<p>A reminder to everyone tomorrow, please be mindful of our Covid-19 guidelines, and please remember to QR code upon attendance, wear a mask indoors (including the office), physically distance whenever possible and sanitise.<\/p>\n<p>As per previous weeks, sanitiser will be stationed at event sites and a Covid-safe officer will be present. See you back at the track in the morning for our final race meet of the year \u2013 before our mid-season break. It\u2019s looking like a warmish morning, so please remember to bring your drink bottles, a hat and protect yourself in the sun. There will be sunscreen at the track.
