Today, we're releasing our "road map" from Monday 19th April based on the government's road map that was released in February. This roadmap may change based on the lessening of restrictions from the UK Government.
All of the below will still need to follow social distancing rules, and Sports Club/AU activity will also follow regulations from their National Governing Bodies. Clubs and Societies will also need to follow guidance on transport in order to follow social distancing. Find our more about AU Clubs return to play here.
