Leisure| ||||||Limited (SLL)it continued
to bear| ||||||responsibility
for the staff and for all| ||||||health and safety measures
needed to| ||||||protect the staff and visitors.
The| ||||||Trustees kept up a regular engagement| ||||||with SLLthroughout
and were fully| ||||||consulted
at all times.| ||||||Once the facilities were permitted
to re-| ||||||open for use itwas necessary to| ||||||observe social distancing,
to instigate| ||||||extra cleaning and health safety| ||||||measures,
and to limit the number of| ||||||people using the facilities. These were| ||||||all managed
by SLLfollowing| ||||||consultation
with the Trustees.
Despite| ||||||these limitations
the support
from the| ||||||membership
using the facilities was| ||||||very encouraging
and the facilities were| ||||||used to the full. There was also little| ||||||drop-off in membership
with very few| ||||||resignations
or withdrawals
ofsupport.| ||||||(In fact, since the ending ofthe third| ||||||lock-down
period the number of users| ||||||ofthe facilities has returned
to pre-| ||||||pandemic
levels already).| ||||||The relaxing ofrestrictions
also meant| ||||||that the cafe was able to reopen for use| ||||||by both sports users, non-sports
users,| ||||||and by casual users. The cafe has| ||||||become something
ofa meeting
place| ||||||for the village.| ||||||One very encouraging
aspect this year| ||||||was the renewal ofinterest
in cricket as| ||||||witnessed
b
the re-startin
ofthe| |Silsoe Village Cricket Club. Although| |---| |the cricket pitch is still owned
by the| |site developers
the Trust was able to| |take over effective control ofthis area| |which has been managed
and| |maintained
by the Trust and the Cricket| |Club working together.
The Trust was| |also able to assist the Cricket Club with| |new equipment
(mowers and tractors)| |and with storage facilities.
The| |arrangements
remain
informal
at| |present pending
the handover
ofthe| |land by the site developers
but it has| |been heartening
tosee cricket back in| |the centre ofthe village.| |The village continues to benefit from the| |presence ofthese recreation facilities.| |ou ma
