General ailments

• This is folk dancing, & yes we do spend time in close proximity to each other, & no we are not getting any younger. Please, if you have an issue, make it clear during the dance. No one wants to inflict pain &/or distress on another, particularly our friends.

Colds, Flu, COVID & similar ailments - Risk Assessment

• This is folk dancing, & yes we do spend time in close proximity to each other. There is a finite chance of passing on these ailments.

Colds, Flu, COVID & similar ailments - Mitigation

• Out of respect to other dancers, if you think you have any symptoms of any of these ailments then please stay away.

• ​Hand sanitiser is always available. Use as frequently as you deem necessary.

• Bring a face mask & wear it if you feel happier doing so.

• If you are unhappy with the close contact of a ballroom hold, then make it clear at the time, that you would prefer a 2 hand swing instead.

• Please, if you test positive for COVID, shortly after an evening of dancing with us, let someone in the committee know, so that we can let others know, & take the appropriate action.
