Just a quick update on how the reopening has gone so far - many of you, including ourselves, will have been a bit nervous about the commencement of the relaxation of the COVID restrictions, but for us, so far so good.
COVID Guidelines
Firstly, we just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has adhered to the guidelines in the centres:
Only turning up 5 minutes before class & not being late (that can be a hard window to hit with the upturn in traffic)
Mask wearing on entry & exit to the centres & if you are watching the Tiger classes
Making the class changeovers smooth given we have some bottlenecks in the centres
Booking System
Keep booking in for classes - we hope to get rid of the booking system once all of the COVID restrictions are lifted, but for now please keep booking in using the app (for single spaces) or the website (for multiple spaces). We’ve been inundated by new & returning students since we reopened so please make sure you cancel any classes you are not going to attend, so spaces can go to other students & those on waiting lists.
Cleaning
We are continuing with our enhanced cleaning regime. Please continue to help us by only using the toilets/changing rooms when absolutely necessary & not using equipment before class.
New Instructors
We welcomed Mrs Plummer to the Instructor Team (at Prestwich) - she’s a fabulous addition to the current team & we’ve had some great feedback from students & parents alike. She’s working on developing a class for children/young adults with Down Syndrome so watch out for news on this in the near future.
Adult Students
We are looking forward to welcoming back the remainder of our adult students on 17th May - current infection rates seem to be moving in the right direction so we’re pretty confident that this will happen so that’s what we’re planning for. The Zoom classes (https://www.facebook.com/groups/336458025038) will continue until then.
Enjoyed Zooming every day? Upgrade your package
If anyone wants to change their training package, let us know as we’d rather any spare places go to current students before taking on additional students. If everyone sticks to their current training package then there will be spaces for everyone as we’re now operating waiting lists for new students on some of our more popular days. Make sure you book in early for classes.
So all in all, we think it’s gone well so far - in no small part to the efforts of students & parents - but please do let us know where we can continue to improve. Not long now - just three weeks until the next step on our journey to normality
