- You can use the facilities at Lochside Park (the ground) with members of your household or people from a maximum of four other households, up to a maximum of fifteen people, while keeping two metres apart at all times. You must therefore only use the ground (nets and training areas) in groups of no more than eight people.

Full details of all members included in the booking need to be provided.

- Wash your hands at home before and after using the outdoor facilities. Bring your own hand sanitiser if possible.
- Use your own equipment. We will not be providing club equipment apart from stumps.
- The club will issue you with (a minimum of) two practice balls for your exclusive use. You will be responsible for looking after these balls and making sure they are not touched by anyone else. You should retain these balls and bring them every time that you come to the ground.
- No saliva or sweat should come into contact with the ball at any time.
- The Clubhouse will be closed. There will be no access to toilets, so you should plan your visit to the ground accordingly
- Members are using the ground at their own risk.
- Try not to arrive early. Aim to arrive at the start of the session to help with social distancing.

- Do not stay to socialise. Specifically, do not spend time socialising with people in other training groups.

Practical Arrangements
The following practical arrangements will apply in relation to use of Lochside Park:

- You should use the hand sanitiser provided at the check-in point
- You will be allocated a training group and an area of the ground; this could be a net or a training area (There are 4 planned areas - ground plan). You should go to that area and remain there until instructed to move. You should not touch or move equipment
- Depending on numbers, training groups will be rotated to allow for a mix of activities. Should this be the case, there may be a short break between sessions to allow for any cleaning down of equipment that may be required
