Due to updated restrictions just announced by HMG: If you are travelling from a Tier 2 or Tier 3 area and are sharing indoor accommodation with another household please check with Kelling Heath reception who have ultimate control over the campsite and bookings before travelling. Some Loughton members from London/Essex have already been contacted by Kelling and their bookings for lodges are cancelled and rolled over to next year. KH are being strict. Visit LAS Skycamp page http://las-skycamp.org/index.php where you will find guidelines relating to social distancing, not sharing telescopes or eyepieces, etc. Because of Covid restrictions there will be no organised events this year. It is purely like-minded astronomers going to the same place at the same time. Please consider any risk to yourself and others if attending. All visitors are expected to obey Covid government guidelines in force at the time of the Sky Camp. This may include travel restrictions at your home location or restrictions imposed on the North Norfolk coast. Socially distance at 2 metres, or take additional steps to prevent transmission if closer than 2 m is unavoidable. Do not congregate in groups of more than 6, inside or outside. Groups should not mingle or swap members. Do not share eyepieces or telescopes. Wash or sanitise your hands frequently. Wear a mask in the Centre (unless medically exempt). There are no talks, raffle or telescope tour this year, so it is unlikely that Kelling Heath will welcome day visitors. Kind regards Loughton Astronomical Society Loughton Astronomical Society
