It is with some delight that we can now announce our plan for re-opening which will include some changes but hopefully you will agree these make sense whilst the current Covid-19 situation still exists.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4138\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4138\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bctaspire.org.uk\/?attachment_id=4138\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4138\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4138\" src=\"https:\/\/bctaspire.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_155231-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bctaspire.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_155231-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bctaspire.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_155231-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bctaspire.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_155231-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bctaspire.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_155231-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bctaspire.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_155231-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4138\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Upstairs room set out for music group with social distancing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Our first sessions will come back this week and our fantastic session leads will be getting in touch with all children who attend their sessions,\u00a0 key dates for parents are as follows:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trytime<\/strong> \u2013 Restarts Thursday 17th September<br \/>\n<strong>Music Lessons<\/strong> \u2013 Restart Saturday 26th September<br \/>\n<strong>Wednesday Youth Club<\/strong> \u2013 Restarts Wednesday 30th September<\/p>\n<p>Both B-Active and our Thursday youth club sessions will be restarted following a review of these sessions to ensure everything is working as we hope.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Safety Measures For Covid-19<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have worked hard and also taken good quality professional advice to arrange this re-start and there are some key measures that we have put in place that have already been implemented and those that we ask you assist us with your children complying.

These can be removed once children are seated for the session.
