Latest Covid-19 Update Issued from RSGBCC - undated

All entrants, group organisers and individuals involved must fully comply with all local COVID-19 restrictions and advice,
including but not limited to social distancing, meeting people outside of their household/bubble and travel that apply to the operating location, at the time of the event. Any enclosed operating space (e.g. car, caravan or a tent without two open sides)
is treated as an indoor location and so may be subject to the tighter limits on numbers of people visiting that space for the duration of the contest. Covid rules are different in each country, and are regularly changing, so please satisfy yourself that you are compliant with your local rules at the time of the contest (links below). Where groups are using `organised event' rules to
enable their operation, it is the local club which is responsible for risk assessments and compliance and not the RSGB.
