1/11/20 update @ Rhyddings and what it means for us
This is a very sad but very necessary notice – following the Government’s announcement last night we are to enter higher restrictions from 5/11/20 in the continued effort to manage COVID 19.
Overnight we have reviewed the Community Events Programme, our COVID Risk Assessment in the context of the Government announcement last night. In doing this, we reflect on the community events programme here at Rhyddings and the number of people who access the events on offer here. All created to support peoples’ well being and reflecting the NHS 5 steps to well being.
So, here is what can and can not go ahead.
SPORT WALKING – ok Monday 2/11 & then the group may arrange to walk within the guidance but access to the Coach House will be paused for 4 weeks.
CARD MAKING – ok for Monday 2/11, then these will be cancelled and refunded

Further announcements will be made about what we can do over this next week – we know CLICK & COLLECT can continue (your ice cream fix is safe!!); we know we can deliver Pilates, Zen Yoga and QiGong online. We know if the weather is ok we can deliver 1:1 bootcamp outdoors.
We plan, when the weather is nicer (not raining) to try and organise some sort of takeaway drinks / ice cream – so at least a walk in the park can be a little more comfortable.
We will continue to look after the garden as we have done since March and the first lockdown.
THE COACH HOUSE AND CAFÉ WILL BE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH THE 4 WEEK HIGHER RESTRICTIONS – ACCESS WILL BE BY ARRANGEMENT OR INVITE
We will continue to do what we can for the community but must work within the COVID government instructions.
We will start to process refunds today – this may take a little time
Please stay safe & as soon as we can get back to what we do – we will
