Building a Happier, Healthier Community

We have Internet

It's limited in what you can access (it has parental controls set up) but it's perfect for zoom, emails, etc. if your own connection has been lost.  It's called The Pavilion and the password is Thepavilion

Host a Zoom Event

The hall, with its plain white walls and excellent natural lighting  is ideal for you to host a Zoom class.  Exercise, art, whatever, you can do it from here.  Contact us to book.


Marcus is running his Tai Chi classes by Zoom from the Pavilion.  

For his contact details see our What's On Page

PLAYING FIELDS

The Playing Fields are accessible to all from the pedestrian entrances at any time and the car park from whenever one of the committee opens the main car park gates till 8pm.

The fields are Private Property, which means that organised groups of more than 6 can only meet with the permission of the Landowners.  This will be granted providing that the other guidance - that there is a Risk Assessment and that Social Distancing is observed - is followed.

That said, we strongly recommend consulting the Local Council before organising a large group event.

CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND

This is OPEN but the gate at the car park end is locked because the entrance ramp is unstable.

Use of the Playground is allowed subject to your agreeing with the following:

 As we do not have the resources to keep the equipment safe for use, users must consider the risks for themselves and take appropriate action to reduce the risk if they decide to use the equipment. 

We ask visitors to self limit to a maximum of two households at a time, and limit their use if others are waiting.  

We CANNOT provide hand sanitiser nor can we provide washing facilities so users MUST provide their own protection against contact transmission.   We also CANNOT keep the equipment clean.  

Users are advised to bring (and take away please) their own wipes for the equipment.   

ADULT EXERCISE EQUIPMENT

This is available for use, though we have removed one of the swings.

As we do not have the resources to keep the equipment safe for use, users must consider the risks for themselves and take appropriate action to reduce the risk if they decide to use the equipment.

 Users MUST maintain strict social distancing.  Vigorous exercise produces significantly more aerosol than general activity so the risk of transmission is higher.  

We CANNOT provide hand sanitiser nor can we provide washing facilities so users MUST provide their own protection against contact transmission.  We also CANNOT keep the equipment clean.  

Users are advised to bring (and take away please) their own wipes for the equipment.

PLEASE NOTE: IT IS MOST UNLIKELY THAT A PARTY CAN FIT WITHIN THE CURRENT GUIDELINES

PLEASE DON'T ASK US TO BREAK THE RULES - WE COULD LOSE OUR LICENSE AND WE COULD BOTH BE HEAVILY FINED


The Pavilion can be made available ONCE LOCKDOWN 2 IS OVER subject to the following:

  1.  All Hirers MUST carefully check and follow  current guidelines from government, any governing body for their activity, and their insurers
  2. All Hirers MUST review our Risk Assessment (see below) and complete a Risk Assessment covering the actions taken and any additional actions for their activity.   Sending a copy of the Risk Assessment to us is a condition of hire but we will not review it - it is entirely the Hirer's responsibility.  Hirers are then responsible for providing signage appropriate to their event, relating to distancing, masks, sanitising, etc. and for ensuring implementation of all the actions identified.  
  3. The Risk Assessment has floor layouts to help you plan.  You can also find a video showing the 2m markings here: https://youtu.be/mSZi6vXnSvk
  4. Hirers MUST, by law, keep a record of attendees for 21 days.  They should also keep a note of any who would not wish their details to be passed to NHS Track and Trace in the event of an outbreak.  The list must not be used for any other purpose, unless it is part of an existing process.  This is most easily done by electronic booking, which also enables the Hirer to provide guidelines to participants in advance of the session.
  5. We are not currently offering use of the Bar, though we may in time be able to offer self-service drinks on a sale or return basis
  6. Because of the need for ventilation, meaning that doors and windows will be open, noise must be minimised after 7pm
  7. If an event has to be cancelled because of government advice or order, the premises not being prepared correctly for the intended activity, or any other cause, our liability to the hirer is limited to a refund of any hire fee or deposit already paid.  


You should read the government's guidelines here: 

 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-on-phased-return-of-sport-and-recreation  

and here:  https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-coronavirus-covid-19/providers-of-grassroots-sport-and-gym-leisure-facilities 


We have provided our Risk Assessment in both PDF and MS Word formats.  Those who want to copy our efforts may do so with the proviso that they must take responsibility for their finished document being legally acceptable for their activity.

Help in the Bar

Once life returns to some form of normal, we will welcome help with serving at the bar and/or keeping things running smoothly by collecting the glasses and restocking the shelves.  It's voluntary but a great way to meet new friends and/or obtain work experience.  

Help in the Grounds

Go on.  You know you want to sit on the mower, pottering round and round, taking in the view, avoiding the family, putting off all the things you meant to do.  It's free, stress free and far more relaxing than the even the most expensive cruise.

Hedge cutting, ditch digging, playground cleaning, whatever you want.

Join the Committee

They're a friendly bunch.  Meetings about 6 times a year are usually enhanced by the bar being open.  It can result in hard work if you decide to take on a particular role but the sense of achievement is well worth it.

CLick Here to Smile

 

The Playing Fields and Pavilion were established after WW2 as a permanent memorial to the men and women of this parish who gave their lives in service of their country.   The new Pedestrian Access Gate (see following article) will serve as an additional memorial to those who fell in WW1  but can we do more to enhance the area in ways that pay due tribute to the sacrifices made by our forebears?   Ideas Welcome  but you can also help by using Amazon Smile in your dealings with the evil empire.  Just click on the big orange link  above and all will become clear - we hope! Or search for Burwash Weald & Common in the Amazon Smile search box.

If you choose us as your nominated charity when shopping with Amazon Smile, the evil empire will donate 0.5% of your purchase to our Memorial Fund. This fund includes the old Century Club, Friends Donations and monies raised by the After 8s and others towards the permanent memorial gate (see article lower down page) and, with the church, we are also setting aside funds to ensure that the War Memorial in the churchyard will be kept in good order.
