In order to return to indoor rehearsing we need to carry out regular risk assessments, agree appropriate protocols for our rehearsals and maintain lists of attendees at each rehearsal. This page is where you can find all covid-related information. It is vital that you read it carefully and fully.
It’s a good idea to check this page a day or so before each rehearsal so you can see if anything has changed.
