This is the latest Statement on COVID-19 and
Kennel Club events – 13th May 2020

The safety and security of competitors, spectators,
volunteers and staff at Kennel Club events continues to
be of paramount importance. In light of the continued restrictions as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic, the Kennel Club has taken the decision with regret to extend its strong recommendation
that clubs and societies cancel forthcoming events until the end of September and that serious
consideration should be given to events due to be held after this date.
It is vitally important that those responsible for organising events, large or small, conduct a
risk assessment which will include ensuring that the event is Covid secure, i.e being compliant
with Government advice and guidance on COVID-19. We will be working on further advice to
clubs and societies on the issues which need to be addressed in a risk assessment once the
Government publishes further guidance or instruction.
This latest recommendation is based on all advice issued by the Government so far which
continues to restrict non-essential travel and maintain social distancing. The Kennel Club also
recommends that alternative arrangements continue to be put in place regarding other activities
such as meetings, seminars and training classes.
It is appreciated that clarity is important in order to be able to plan, budget and mitigate costs
and therefore we will provide more definitive advice as soon as the position is clearer from the
Government.

The latest advice on the situation regarding COVID-19 is regularly updated and changes daily
and we strongly suggest that clubs and societies keep aware of updates as issued by the
Department of Health at www.gov.uk/coronavirus.
