Covid19 Procedure
COVID 19 PROCEDURES FOR OUR 2020/21 LOCAL COMPETITIONS
Our local touch competitions will be a lot different this season due to the requirements placed upon us due to the pandemic.
It will possibly not be as social as it has been in the past but we hope that all of our members still enjoy their touch and that in the future we can return to the way it used to be.
We ask everyone to do their best to follow the requirements as set out below.
It is possible that we may be inspected at some point.
If you have any questions please contact us ( bankstowntouch@gmail.com)
