Hi everyone! We wanted to send out an update, as we’re aware it’s been radio silence from Lipson Lions for a while. The committee than runs the club met last night to discuss our pathway back to playing. As you may, or may not be aware, our governing body England Hockey have moved to Stage 4 of their returning to play plan which allows us to train again. However, we have to do a lot of work in the background to get this ready, including writing bespoke Risk Assessments, developing a way to track and trace and buying a tonne of hand sanitiser! To this end, we are planning to return to training at the start of October, to give us time to plan, and also a chance for the children to get used to being back at school as we’re sure that will be a little different for them. If we can bring this date forwards, we will, as we just want to be getting them back playing again, but we have to be doing it safely! We will be sending out updates throughout September so you have all the info you need, and as ever if you have any questions or concerns drop myself or Denise a message. Friday night games will take a little longer, as we have to wait until England Hockey move to stage 5. We hope you’re all safe and we can’t wait to see you all as soon as we can. Liv
