The Club bar opens again for the time being on match days only, and outside seating, for members only, from Saturday 17th April.

No access to the club house, except for use of toilets.

To keep everyone safe, and to keep within the law here are a few guidelines for members using the club and for playing members.

These guidelines are from the ECB.

Off the Field:

• Following the move to Step 2,(12th April)outdoor areas at hospitality venues can reopen to serve customers in groups of up to 6 people or 2 households or support bubble, at Selsey Cricket Club outside seating is limited to 30 people.

Clubhouses are permitted to serve food and beverage to customers outdoors in accordance with government COVID guidance for restaurants and bars, which includes

At any premises serving alcohol, customers will be required to order, be served and eat/drink while seated (even if no alcohol is ordered).

If a hospitality venue does not serve alcohol, then customers will be able to order and collect food and drink from a counter, but must consume food and drink while seated at a table.

Venues may allow customers to use toilets, baby changing rooms or breast feeding rooms located inside.

No one who is required to self-isolate should attend an organised cricket activity.

Changing rooms must remain closed except for disabled persons and emergency requirements.

Participants should arrive in their kit ready to play and should return home in their kit.

Clubhouses including social and hospitality facilities must remain closed, but toilet and hand washing provision is permitted subject to risk assessment, occupancy limits, suitable ventilation and frequent and effective cleaning.

Hygiene breaks in play are required every 6 overs or 20 minutes for non-match play activities.

Players and Officials should bring their own food and drink and drinks bottles should not be shared.

 There is a legal requirement to record participant and attendee contact details for the purposes of NHS Test and Trace and clubs and venues must ensure that data is collected in accordance with data protection laws.

A cricket club in a public open space will not be required to ‘patrol’ the boundary collecting the contact details of everybody walking through the park and stopping to watch the cricket, but should continue to collect contact details of any person on site interacting with the clubhouse area, any seating areas provided by the club or interacting with any other club owned and/or operated facility.

It is recommended clear demarcation is created to keep players and members of the public separate.

Before attending any cricket activities or venues, all participants, officials, volunteers and spectators must self-assess for COVID-19 symptoms:

o A high temperature.

o A new, continuous cough.

o A loss of, or change to, their sense of smell or taste.

If you have one or more of these symptoms you should not attend any cricket activity and must follow NHS and PHE guidance on self-isolation.

• People with health conditions that put them at increased risk should consider the risks of participating in cricket activity.

Face coverings must be worn where required by legislation and in accordance with government guidance available.
