⚽️Session Update⚽️

Hi Everyone,

Apologies for the lack of communication on what’s been going on as of late, mainly due to the lack of football and the slow return to sessions for the Heriot-Watt Uni teams.

The final sessions for the semester will end the week ending the 16th of April. This applies for the 4s, 5s, 6s and Women’s teams. Due to the low numbers before the break and throughout the semester last year there was no real push to get additional sessions on Sunday’s back as the attendance did not justify the slot allocation.

An additional note, if you are attending training sessions please remember that the recreational sessions have different fees. If you have been asked to come along to a training session you must have paid the Oriam membership and Club membership in order to attend.

For Covid-19 protection of our teams, please do not just show up to a training session which you’ve booked yourself on through the ‘Our Oriam’ app. We have measures in place to protect our teams and have team ‘bubbles’ to reduce the risk of Covid-19 outbreaks within our club and we need to maintain these.

Hope everyone is doing well in week 12 and is prepared for the upcoming exams!

Cheers,
Aonghus

Hi Everyone,

Just a message to say tonight’s session for Sunday 7s will not be going ahead due to low numbers.
Understandably it’s a difficult time to ask folk to come along as exams start as of tomorrow.

Best of luck to everyone with their exams and coursework and hope to see you all in the new year!

Cheers

❗️Important SFA Guideline & Protocol Changes❗️

Hi Everyone,

As you may have seen after Wednesday's announcement from the Scottish Government that there are strict and important changes to our game which came into effect 6PM yesterday and will in place until the 25/10 at the earliest.

The SFA has reconsidered the how the game will be allowed to play across the nation resulting in Over-18 football to come to a halt in the area covered by the Lothian Health Board. All football activity is not permitted during this period.

With this said there have been some exemptions made for the professional game so that football may continue/restart, within these leagues which are exempt includes the East of Scotland leagues that our 1s compete in. Thankfully this has been allowed to happen as today is the first weekend of the new season with Heriot-Watt facing Burntisland Shipyard at home - good luck lads!

Scottish Government travel guidance is that individuals who live in a high risk local health board area should not travel outside their health board area. This guidance applies for players travelling for training or matches.

As frustrating as these changes are, they are in place to prevent the spread of Coronavirus, more specifically tackling it within the central belt as the number of reported cases have increased to the point which action is necessary to suppress the virus.

We as a club will be working closely with the Sports Union to ensure the return of football when the time comes, with hopefully seeing the return of training and the Sunday 5-a-side games in two weeks. We will keep you updated with any changes and news from the Sports Union.

Please see below the link to the SFA's updated guidelines: https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/scottish-fa-statement-on-new-government-guidelines/?rid=13929

Any questions regarding the changes, upcoming sessions, going to the Oriam or anything else please don't hesitate to get in touch with any of us.

Stay safe,
Aonghus

Following the latest update from Scottish Government on Thursday, 7 October, the Scottish FA can today confirm the impact on Scottish football as a result of government guidance.
