Supporting the agility community during lockdown...

 

Lockdowns and restrictions can feel quite isolating, unable to see family or friends and, of course, missing the agility.  Agility Together is a temporary FB group, aiming to support to agility folk during this winter pandemic by means of some friendly chat, a familiar face and sharing a moment of agility time.

Ruth Abrahams of Inspire Agility explained, 'The idea evolved during a recent conversation between myself and Ellen Rocco of Agilitynet. We were discussing the effect of loneliness and isolation as a result of the current restrictions and we wanted to do something about it.'

The aim of Agility Together is to provide an opportunity for the agility community to come together during these difficult pandemic times in order to keep alive the social contact that we are missing as a result of not being able to train and go to shows.  Every Saturday, during lockdown, you will be able to enter 'The room' on Agility Together, or watch live from the page, where you can join in with a range of free informative talks and activities, given by agility folk for agility folk.

Various sessions of agility togetherness will continue until the end of lockdown in the UK. The last will be a Q&A with Naarah Cuddy and Martin Reid on 28th March. but the FB group will stay open for people to watch the recordings and keep in touch.
