The apparent end to Lockdown #2 of 2020 is in sight, so we’re expecting to be able to play hockey again in the run-up to Christmas!

At shortly after midnight on Wednesday the 2nd of December, 2020, we come out of the second lockdown of 2020 which throughout November has prevented us from continuing with the hockey season. The government’s announcement on Monday was, as they’ve all been, a very top-level view about what is and is not permitted to take place and so it takes a few days for clarity to be sought and provided in terms of where we stand with outdoor sports.

At the time of writing we are expecting hockey in some guise to take place from next week. There are still details to be thrashed out regarding travel in and out of different tiers, and it’s also not yet clear which tier Lincolnshire will be placed in and whether different parts of the county will be kept in the same tier.

Pre Christmas Hockey

As far as the club’s planning is currently concerned we’re assuming – until we’re informed otherwise – that the following will be in place for December;

• Training to be able to be able to take place
• Training will continue along the previous schedule until further facilities are made available at the Lindum Sports Association
• We are not currently expecting the leagues to start up again until 2021
• We are therefore going to arrange intra-club games
  • Club members to register their interest to be added to a team via the Club Member’s MyClub site
• All previous guidance and restrictions concerning using the pitch, car park, equipment, etc. continue to be in place

As has been the case all season, sessions require booking via the Club Member’s MyClub site, and we ask that members only book for sessions that they fully intend to be partaking in. Please do not block-book only to cancel later on.

If you live outside of central Lincoln please wait until it’s known which tiers areas are being put in, to avoid having to cancel booked sessions later if you’re not allowed to attend.
