Woodlane Club News
Training at Woodlane (September 2020 Update)
Woodlane have re-opened in our new location in Gooshays Drive. Following our first lesson on September 7th, we now train each Monday and Thursday from 7.00 p.m through to 8.30 p.m.
The English Karate Federation (EKF) have advised that we can continue to train despite the ‘six-person’ restrictions introduced on 14 September. This is because Karate is recognised as an ‘organised team sport’.
Woodlane continue to follow all EKF advice on Covid safety including:
- Additional checks on arrival including a temperature check
- Recording of all attendance for track and trace
- Safe conduct in the Dojo including no-contact and maintaining social distancing throughout training
- Wearing of trainers in the Dojo
