Eastern Counties Rugby Union

I hope you are keeping well during this very difficult time.

The attached pdf has been produced by the IOG and RFU.

The document sets out what may happen to Rugby Union playing surfaces and the soils beneath should they be left alone for lengthy periods, what can currently be done to maintain them and also what works can be carried out should a play resume.

Grassroots playing facilities will currently have many questions about the current and potential restrictions the Government may impose to reduce the transmission of Coronavirus with regards to Rugby Union playing surfaces, their ongoing maintenance and what works may be carried out to provide a fit for play surface when sport resumes.

Please ensure you always follow government guidelines (www.gov.uk/coronavirus) should you be permitted to work outdoors either as lone workers or as part of a team.

Best Wishes
