Update 14th December 2021
In view of the increasing levels of infection and more stringent regulations in place nationally, with immediate effect, masks must be worn by everyone at all times when in the studio no matter how many - or few - people are in the space. Please ensure both mouth and nose are covered by the mask.
As before, the windows and door should be open throughout each class.
The club's Covid policy is reviewed each month.
Classes resumed in the studio on Monday 8 November and a new procedure has been agreed by the Committee in an effort to keep everyone safe and avoid having to suspend classes again in the future. The Committee and Class Leaders have a part in the procedure, but it won't work unless members do their part.
If you have tested positive or have any symptoms – even a cold – please do not go to the studio.
If you test positive, or if someone in your household tests positive, and you have been in the studio during the last week, please inform the club straight away by email and please don’t return to the studio for at least 10 days.
If you have been in contact with anyone who has tested positive, and you have been in the studio during the last week, please inform the club straight away by email and please don’t return to the studio for at least a week.
While in the studio, masks must be worn at all times except when in your place to draw, and please use hand sanitiser. All the studio windows must be open.
To make this work and to keep everyone safe, it is incumbent on each member to regularly check their emails.
If and when a member reports an issue, all members will be informed of the situation, identifying the class involved, and asking anyone who was in that class to stay away for one week and test. The Class Leader whose class was affected will inform the model and let the Secretary know of any guests who were at that class. The classes will continue to run.
Stay safe.
