Member Update 13

Dear Member Clubs,

Wednesday 15 July

We are working as hard as we can with sports partners to influence our political decision makers to re-open gyms and would like to tell you what we know in terms of timescales so you can also plan accordingly, especially now that you have read that English boxing clubs can open from 25 July.

In Wales, the following applies:

  • As from 13 July, large gatherings outdoors of up to 30 people where these are organised and supervised by a responsible person (a club, business or charity) is allowed. This means non-contact group activity and this will allow fitness sessions to take place outdoors. And fitness means no equipment. However, a risk assessment will need to be carried out by any club wishing to operate this way and thank you to those clubs that have already provided this to Amy.

  • From Monday 20 July, the current restrictions on outdoor gyms will be lifted. You will be able to open as and when safety checks and other measures are put in place and again guidance will be available. In these circumstances, equipment will be allowed.

  • Nothing will then happen until the next Welsh Government review on 30 July. There could be changes made and these would be brought in on Monday 3 August, Monday 10 August and Monday 17 August. 

  • If nothing is mentioned about boxing clubs on 30 July, then the next review date is 20 August, with measures being brought in on Monday 24 August, Monday 31 August and 7 September.  

Please let Amy know as soon as possible who your COVID-19 Officer is on amy.garrett@welshboxing.org

Take care

Colin Metson
