Hello everyone
Today we have published our guidance for Fencing in the “extended level 4” situation we are in on Mainland Scotland. With the Islands currently at Level 3 they should follow our guidance for those Levels as previously issued.
The new guidance is available here
For the Mainland, the new restrictions are of course tough and they make Fencing more regulated than at any time since the Lockdown of March 2020. With the restrictions currently in place until the end of January we know this will be a difficult time and the likelihood of outdoor fencing in the winter we know is highly unlikely.
However, the guidance is approved by government and sportscotland and is available on the SF website and is attached to this email.
In line with the government position, we ask anyone who is considering fencing during the extended Level 4 restrictions to risk assess their environment and entrey/exit to wherever the activity is happening. Group sizes are restricted even further now and the necessity to prevent unnecessary congregation indoor and outdoor is something we must all pay attention to until the case numbers have dropped.
While this is perhaps the toughest time since the pandemic began both for our members and our sport, we can get through this. When the landscape “rights” itself over the next months we will have a number of great events to look forward to, but most of all we will have our clubs back and the amazing experiences they deliver for our members.
Lets keep that thought steady on the horizon.
