Background 1.3 Currently in the Garw Valley as with all other areas in Bridgend, sports and community groups are considering the transfer of sports and community venues and assets from the Council, through the Community Asset Transfer (CAT) process. 1.4 Some of the assets within the Garw Valley are in a poor state of repair and well below an acceptable standard. The cost of repairing and maintaining these assets is beyond the reach of many of the sport and community groups and therefore a potential solution is being sought to ensure that sporting and community activities are not lost. 1.5 To support the CAT process, Reach has already produced a ‘Rural Community Asset Transfer Toolkit’ which provides groups with a step by step guide to asset transfer and also commissioned a report ‘Review of Sustainable Community Venues and Assets in Bridgend County Borough’, which provides a detailed understanding of the issues faced by groups who both currently are or are considering managing/owning/leasing community facilities.

  • UPDATED GUIDANCE for PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY in WALES Th from 26 April 2021
    UPDATED GUIDANCE FOR PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY IN WALES th From 26 April 2021 SUMMARY Following the latest Welsh Government announcement, Cricket Wales and The England and Wales Cricket Board have updated our guidance to reflect the latest measures. This guidance replaces the previous guidance issued from 27th March. From Monday 26th April: • Organised outdoor activities for adults can now take place with up to 30 people. • As of 24th April the six people from two households’ rule was abolished and replaced with six people from any number of households (not including children under 11 years of age or carers) can meet outdoors. • Clubhouses are permitted to serve food and beverage to customers outdoors in accordance with Welsh government COVID guidance for restaurants and bars, ‘Outdoor organised cricket activity’ is defined as: Sport which is formally organised by a qualified instructor, club, national governing body, company or charity and follows sport-specific guidance. If the sport is not organised by one of these groups (for example, some friends having a hit in the nets) or the sport’s NGB guidance is not being followed (for example, a cricket club ignoring the ECB’s safety measures), this is considered to be informal or self- organised sport and must abide by the social gathering limits. KEY POINTS: • Groups of up to 30 adults will be permitted to take part in outdoor organised cricket activities. • Group size limits do not apply to children under the age of 18 (persons who were aged under 18 on 31 August 2020) for activity arranged by a responsible body (e.g.
