RETURN TO TRAINING
Great news – we are reopening and back to the track on Wednesday 2nd December!
Here’s a few details to make you all aware of…
Junior Academy
The academy will restart on Wednesday 2/12/20 and run right through until Saturday 19/12/20 inclusive. All sessions will run as they did prior to this last lockdown with the same times, groups and coaches. We will carry forward anyone who had pre-paid for November into December (and part of January if applicable). All being well we will start again after Christmas on Tuesday 5/01/21. If anyone has decided not to continue please let Jeremy know so their space can be allocated to someone else.
Club Training
Club training will commence again on Thursday 3/12/20 and run through until Saturday 19/12/20 inclusive (unless you hear differently from your coach). Please could all athletes continue to pay at the end of the month for sessions attended: £2 for Yate AC and Westbury members, £3 for everyone else.
Individual training outside of club hours
YOSC will be available again for training outside of club hours from Wednesday 2/12/20. Please pre-book with Jeremy (info@yate-outdoor-sports-complex.co.uk). Cost per session is £3 per hour.
Clubhouse
We will endeavour to open the bar for takeaway drinks only, but will be relying on volunteers, so please bear with us (we may manage a bacon roll on Saturday morning, but you may need to be patient…!). The clubhouse will not be available for parents/families to wait in during sessions, but you are welcome to sit outside on the stadium seating. Please remember a face covering will need to be worn when entering the club house.
