We are
back
This is to let everyone know that we are at long last coming back on Tuesday 22nd. June. This is subject to a final governmental review on Monday the 14th and I will send out a further confirmation e-mail as soon as we know. The premises have been booked and we have now received a copy of Hempton Parish Hall’s hiring requirements a copy of which is set out below.
The
arrangement at least for the initial term will be the same as last September so
do please bring a mask with you even if you wish to dispense with this whilst
painting. The kitchen is available for hot drinks but for the first meeting can
you please bring your own drink. Catering is one of the matters that we need to
agree upon as a group at our first meeting.
We have lost
a few members who have moved house over the last year so we also need to
consider whether we wish to expand the group a bit to include friends relatives
etc. A few people have deferred their return until September but the majority
of the group are anxious to get back so we are hopeful of a good turn out on
the 22nd,.
As
previously suggested, if you have been painting, drawing etc. over this last
year please bring your work in so that we can have our own picture gallery and
photograph any that have not been published on the blog.
Can’t wait
for life to return to a little more normality.
Looking
forward to seeing everyone again.
Keep safe

Hempton Memorial Hall,
Covid-19 risk assessment
Social distancing
& restrictions
·
All hirers/users of the hall must observe social distancing at all times.
·
Observe all the markings in the courtyard and the hall lobby.
·
It is the responsibility of the group leader of each event to ensure that
social distancing is maintained inside the hall.
·
There must be no more than 30 people in the hall and stage area at any
time.
·
At the moment no singing, shouting or energetic exercises are allowed.
“Pinch points”
·
To ease pinch points users must enter by the main front door and exit by
the door to the green.
·
There should be no more than one person in each toilet at any time. The only exception being a parent and
child. Please lock the outside door of
the toilet when in use. People should
wait in the main hall to go through the lobby to the toilets.
·
There should be no more than two people in the kitchen at any time.
Toilets
·
Hand driers are ‘out of use’ to stop risk of spreading the virus.
·
Rigorous hand washing should be observed and hand towels should be used
and disposed of in the bins provided.
Kitchen
·
All users are advised to bring
their own food and drink.
·
If hall crockery is used these must be thoroughly cleaned after use and
the hirer must provide their own washing-up equipment and tea towels.
Cleanliness
·
The hall committee will make every effort to ensure that the hall is
scrupulously clean. However, it is
impossible for the cleaner to be present between every hiring. The leader of each group/event must therefore
be responsible for ensuring that a thorough cleaning of the door handles,
basins, toilet seats, tables, etc. when used, are carried out both before and after using the hall. All cleaning equipment will be provided and
kept in a cupboard in the kitchen.
·
It is advised that all hirers use gloves when using the alarm pad.
Illness
·
Should someone show signs of Covid-19 they should be taken to the hall
lobby to await assistance. Someone
should stop anyone entering via the main entrance.
·
The leader must have all contact details of those attending and be
responsible for contacting all attending.
Other members of the group must then exit by the side door onto the
green.
·
Please inform Laura of any such incident.
Windows
·
It is believed that some form of fresh air is advisable. One half of both inner and outer entry doors
can be hooked back. If any windows are
opened, please ensure that you close them and clean the handles when you leave.
