Highcliffe Residents' Association

Dear HRA Members,

Use of The Old School during the COVID-19 crisis

As from 3rd December 2020, new COVID-19 restrictions mean that it is now possible to hire the Main Hall in The Old School for certain group activities subject to strict observance of Tier 2 COVID restrictions.

These restrictions include:

• "organised indoor sport, physical activity and exercise classes will only be permitted if it is possible for people to avoid mixing with people they do not live with (or share a support bubble with)". "you must not socialise with anyone you do not live with or who is not in your support bubble in any indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place". (For the official Government guidance on current restrictions click here).

It is the responsibility of event organisers to determine that their activity is permitted, and if so to ensure compliance with COVID guidelines including:

• maintaining social distancing at all times between people from different households
• sanitising touchable surfaces before every session (and if possible after)
• ensuring that participants observe requirements to sanitise their hands, and to wear face coverings (unless exempt)
• maintaining good ventilation during sessions

Enquiries about hiring the halls should be made via the contact form below or by email to our Bookings Secretary at

Richard Reader
HRA CIC Director and secretary
on behalf of the HRA Board
