CAN YOU SEE A LIGHT?

 As we begin to get on top of Covid and restrictions are being eased the obvious question is "when can we start to meet again?"

We are indeed fortunate that in the UK the government policy has been to get as many people vaccinated as possible in the shortest possible time.  At the time of writing well over half the adult population has received at least one dose of the inoculation and a large number have received two.  BUT we are not out of the wood yet.  True gyms and swimming pools are opening but there are still restrictions on numbers. The Sleaford Leisure Centre  website states that individuals can swim on a pre-booked slot.  As it was last summer individuals arrive, having showered at home and wearing their costume under their clothing.  They can then swim, shower and go home.  This in no way allows us to have our meetings.

If the Government Road Map holds good, the Committee expects that we may be able to restart operations on the second swim of July.  That is Saturday 24th July.  But please note this is our best guess and it may well change as time goes by.  We will try to keep you informed by this blog.  Once we have more definite information be sure that we will tell you; on the blog and by mass email.

Can you see a light at the end of the tunnel?   Well yes! but it is still a fair way off
