Activities on the Rec. Field During Covid-19

Football Club Training
Outdoor sport is due to return on 29th March which includes grassroots football. As such Chiseldon FC is expecting to resume both training and games soon after this date. The adult Sunday Football League has confirmed its season will resume from 4th April and will be extended into June with the aim of completing all league and cup fixtures. The adult Saturday Football League is engaging with member teams to identify if there is a desire to also continue into June, or to abandon the season. Junior football is yet to confirm its plans for completing the season but the expectation is that games will resume as soon as possible.

Tennis
Following the Prime Minister’s announcement, we are pleased to confirm that outdoor tennis courts will be able to open from 29th March. This will mean recreational tennis will be able to resume, including:

  • Singles and doubles social play including club sessions
  • organised activity for groups (maximum group size subject to confirmation)
  • 1:1 coaching
  • Pay and Play will follow soon.

We look forward to welcoming members and new members for the coming year 01/04/21 -31/03/22.

We will also be able to play league tennis and anyone interested in playing for either ladies men’s or mixed teams should contact : info@chiseldontennisclub.co.uk

Coaching will be resuming from 29th March. Adult, junior, individual and courses will be available.

For details contact our coach Lauren Prince : Laurenprince92@outlook.com

Social distancing (no socialising before or after play) and Covid safety measures will be maintained. We shall advise as soon as we have more information.

Information on CPR and defibrillators

We had a query over the procedure for finding a defibrillator and CPR if you are on your own with a casualty. There are various website links and pages below to provide you with CPR information. St John’s advice is not to look for the nearest defib if you are on your own – you should wait for the ambulance service to bring one. The advice also provides a Covid safe version.

Rubbish, recycling and dog bins

If you come across potentially hazardous waste – needles being an important example – please ring Swindon Borough Council Customer Services on 01793 445501. It can then be dealt with immediately. Swindon Borough Council publishes details of all wheelie bin, garden waste and recycling box collections on their website. Just enter your postcode! View their guidance to what can and can’t go into your garden waste bin in Chiseldon (other areas may differ).

Check missed waste or recycling collections online

We currently successfully complete 99.9% of our waste and recycling collections. However, there are occasions where our crews can’t complete a round due to operational issues, or mistakenly miss a collection. If a collection is not completed on the day it is due to be, please visit our missed collections webpage at the end of the working day to find out when our crews will be back to collect it. If a street or area is not listed please advise residents to report it as a missed collection and the crews will be back asap. They also publish a page listing all of their household waste recycling centres – complete with maps.   The Parish Council provides a total of 16 bins for dog owners to deposit waste from their pets. The following maps show the approximate location of these bins:
