We’ve had wonderful news! As all goes well we can re-open per 1 July!
These past weeks we’ve worked hard to get the gym as new as can be. All that hard work took our mind of things a bit as we had lots of reasons for worrying unfortunately. The government provides some support but hasn’t defined the exact definition yet, so it might be so that some of the support has to be paid back. It’s a small amount, not enough to cover the monthly costs let alone the costs for being closed down during 3 months.
But we have you! And some of you have been able to support us with either donations or not pausing the subscriptions. We’re very grateful for that support! The lovely, warm messages you’ve send us shine like the light at the end of the tunnel.
The Dutch Government will decide around 23 June whether or not bouldergyms, climbing gyms and all other indoor sport facilities can be allowed to re-open per 1 July. Each sport has conjured protocols and the RIVM is looking into all these protocols, asks for additional measurements or clarifications and compares protocols. You already know (and practice) what the RIVM doesn’t: when bouldering you always keep a distance of at least 2.5m on the wall and you don’t wander around on the mats whilst risking being closer to another climber than the obliged 1.5m.
Furthermore our gym is hugh, with high ceilings, and there’s always plenty of fresh air. Via three big fans in the roof air is transported out while via the big doors at the front and at the back a lot of fresh air gets in. Did you know that our air cleaning system is produced by VFA Solutions? VFA stands for Virus Free Air. This company provides hospitals with filter systems as well. Good to know right?
So, keep up the good job by respecting the 1.5m society and help us to re-open soon!
