A.C.R.E. announcement 10/12/21
Government announced the tightening of selected Regulations, on 8th December. The first of these to come into law relates to face coverings. These changes were introduced to Parliament on 9th December and became law on 10th December.
Face coverings Community Centres (Village Halls) are now explicitly included in the list of places where face coverings must be worn unless the individual has an exemption. The responsibility is the individual’s not the building owner or organiser of an activity.
Signage Although poorly drafted in respect of Community Centres (Village Halls) a requirement to put up signs telling people they must wear face coverings is a requirement of the regulations. As worded this could be read as applying to the organiser of an activity, however it would be safest to take this this to mean the people or persons responsible for the building. In the case of Village Halls this will either be the Trustees or the Manager.
Singing The Regulations permit the removal of face masks for singing in the following situations: as part of a choir, service, performance or rehearsal for a performance.

 Tees Valley Village Halls Network provides specialist advice, support and information about running a community facility to its members. Membership is open to the voluntary management committees of village halls and rural community buildings in the Tees Valley areas of Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland, Stockton, and North Yorkshire.
