We are delighted to announce that our Adult training group under the leadership of Graham Allen will be resuming group sessions from this Wednesday, May 12, at 7pm with members meeting up outside Carrick-on-Shannon Sports Complex.
It will be great to get the group back in action but first and foremost, there are a few housekeeping items in relation to membership and Covid-19 precautions.
Anyone who wishes to train with the group MUST be a fully registered and paid up member of the club for 2021. If you have already paid membership, you are fine but anyone else must do so before they can return training for insurance and health questionnaire purposes.
Renewing or joining for new members has never been easier as this year we have moved our registration system to the Athletics Ireland Online Membership System which means that our members will be able to renew their memberships from the comfort of their own home.
Membership costs €35 and the link for the new Club membership portal can be accessed at the following link: https://membership.athleticsireland.ie/
This new system will allow members access their membership details, update those details if need be, have access to their membership number and enter national championships through the portal if they wish.
Previous members will need their membership number to access the portal. If you cannot access your details online, simply contact Club Secretary John Connolly at connollyjohnb@gmail.com and he will forward to you your membership number so that you can access the portal.
HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE
With Covid-19 still a real concern, it is imperative that all members comply with public health regulations and Athletics Ireland requirements. This means athletes can only meet in group of 15 (including mentors/coaches) so if there is more than 15 athletes present, they must train in two separate groups.
We would also ask that before and after training, athletes avoid congregating around and that they wear masks when not training - this is to keep everyone safe, sound and still running! All members must fill out a Health Questionnaire before each session.
WHATSAPP GROUP FOR NOTIFICATIONS
To facilitate the distribution of the Health Questionnaire, we will form a new WhatsApp group which will be used to update and organise group training sessions. To join the WhatsApp group, please email us at the above email address with your phone number so that we can add your name to it.
This is an essential part of our plan to return to training in a safe environment so we would please ask that all parents please fill out the form with their phone number to enable WhatsApp group messaging as soon as possible if they have not already done so.
Once we have a better idea of how many athletes are registered and interested in the group sessions, more training sessions will be organised.
