We aim to provide you with the same relaxed friendly place to practice and record that you are used to however things are a little different for the moment.

Our priority is your safety and of course, the safety of our team. During this pandemic we are doing everything we can to provide a safe and relaxed place to hang.

For our team we have implemented extra precautions to protect everyone, so the operation may run a little more slowly as we get used to this, please bear with us as we get these in place.

To create a safe environment some of the things we are doing are

Conducting a deep clean of all of the complex.

We have reviewed all areas of the building and scheduled regular cleaning and sanitisation. This is focused on high traffic areas, regular touch points like handles and handrails and equipment.

We have purchased a UV microphone sterilizer which kills 99.99% of viruses and bacteria and other products to allow us to sanitise equipment after use.

We have implemented social distancing guidelines, for example; 2m markings on the corridor floors One way markings for transit of the building

Passing points marked in the corridors

2m markings in studios to assist with distancing

Sessions have been spaced out to allow for cleaning between sessions and separation of people.

We will be implementing one scheduled 15 minute break to each 3 hour session.

Hand sanitiser is provided at strategic locations, notably entry and exit points.

Our teams have face coverings to wear when closer than 2m

Unfortunately, we have had to close the rest areas and kitchens and in order to effectively clean the toilets only one will be available. To beat this virus and prevent further spread we need to work together. This is what we need you and the bands to agree to;

Do not enter the building if you are displaying or have been exposed to COVID symptoms.

Commit to allow non contact temperature reading on arrival.

Above 37.3 0C precludes entry.

Sanitise or wash hands on entry and exit of each area

Wear a face covering when within 2m of Gun Factory teams

When passing in corridors use marked passing points and face away from each other.
