Covid19 Update – December 30th Update

Hi Everyone,

See update (below in italics) just sent by Tennis Ireland within the last hour to all Clubs. Unfortunately we have no choice but to stop all activities from midnight tonight (30th) and to close the Club until January 31st 2021

in line with Government and TI direction. We wish all of our members the very best through these very challenging times and we look forward to seeing everyone back on court soon.

Stay safe in the meantime

Happy New Year

The Bishopstown Lawn Tennis Club Committee

An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, this evening announced the return of “full scale” Level 5 restrictions from midnight tonight until at least January 31st in a bid to contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Unfortunately, this means that no indoor or outdoor tennis activities, including those involving children, should take place with an exception for designated High Performance Players*

Since the start of the pandemic in Ireland, Tennis Ireland have fully endorsed the public health advice of the Irish Government. We have engaged extensively and successfully with government to

highlight the health and mental health benefits of tennis and the strong compliance with the safety protocols which has ensured that our sport has been a safe outlet for people of all ages during the pandemic

We will endeavour to maintain this engagement in an effort to ensure our sport remains closed for as short a period as possible and to seek additional supports for our clubs during these difficult times.

Regards

Richard Fahey
Chief Executive
Tennis Ireland
