Lockdown Easing Plans - 2021 

Based on the government road map out of lockdown (at the time of writing) we are planning for the following:
Now - March 29th : Lockdown is still in place so there will be no official PCC events.
March 29th - April 12th : 6 people can meet outside. Still no official PCC events but expect that members can meet in groups of up to 6 for non-PCC paddles as long as they follow the government and Canoe England guidance at the time. Members can use the forum and Facebook page to organise these peer paddles
April 12th - 30th: Swimming pool can reopen. Expect to have 3 Tuesday night pool sessions, April 13th,20th and 27th. If they run, the beginners’ course will be in the pool. There will likely be limitations on numbers (looking like 12) so expect the sessions to be run as before with booking required etc.
May 1st - 17th: PCC summer season begins. Pool sessions end and outdoor Tuesday sessions to start. The rule of 6 will still apply so 2 Tuesday outdoor sessions (May 4th and 11th ) to be run like last year’s outdoor sessions, booking required and groups no larger than 6. May 17th - June 20th : Maximum group size outside: 30 people. We very rarely get groups this size so this will mean that we will be back to running normal summer Tuesday night sessions.
June 21st: All restrictions lifted.
All the dates were correct at the time of writing. The dates and plans can change depending on the rules and actions of the government and the advice of Canoe England. .
