BWEFC’s Covid Officer
Our Covid Officer is Tim Wye. Tim can be contacted at tim.wye@icloud.com between sessions. When Tim is not on-site, John Rohde will assume the role for the duration of the session. A detailed risk assessment has been carried out (upon which, along with guidance from our governing body, British Fencing, these protocols and procedures have been based) and we will continue to re-assess and update as necessary. Please do not hesitate to report any concerns.
