Latest news:
The club is currently closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and we may be reopening in September, subject to government advice and restrictions.
Middlesex League Suspended
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Middlesex League was suspended with immediate effect in March. The League Secretary circulated a message via ECF LMS to advise of the suspension. The requirements of social distancing and the concerns about viral transmission means that it is unknown when OTB play will resume. An announcement will be made shortly about whether the league season will resume or be terminated and the implications of either decision.
The past few weeks has seen a relaxation of social lockdown and clubs may be thinking of resuming OTB play. If so, in accordance with the steer from the ECF, the MCCA would ask clubs to ensure they consider the implications of doing so, and at least conduct the ECF risk assessment, in order to determine whether it is right to do so.
