Covid-19 update – Events and Activities - 3rd December 2021

Below you’ll find the latest updates in terms of current Covid-19 measures and booking spaces around campus to help you with your planning.


Are there any covid-19 measures that you need to think about when planning your events and activities?

At the moment, we are proceeding with booking all rooms at pre Covid capacities, however, please ensure that you continue with having good ventilation in the rooms and making sure you sanitise surfaces before and after you use the room you’re in. Please also encourage your attendees to continue wearing masks and sanitising their hands throughout the event or activity and please make sure you abide by any rules put in place by external venues as they may differ to UEA and UEASU rules.

Please note:

  • Face coverings: UEA is tightening the restrictions on face coverings because of the new COVID variant, named Omicron. From Monday 29 November, face coverings should be worn in any internal setting across the University, except for:
     

    - Those who are unable to wear a face-covering for medical reasons - (you can pick up a sunflower lanyard or pin from the Student Information Zone);
    - Practical classes or research facilities where the risk assessment suggests that wearing a face-covering introduces additional risk;
    - When eating or drinking;
    - When undertaking sport and physical activity in the Sportspark; and
    - UEA accommodation household groups while in their flat. Note: Students and their guests should wear face coverings when visiting flats. Residents should vacate the room where staff are working if possible, and wear a face covering where staff are present.

Read the full message to students re the change in face coverings policy on My UEA.

All events both on and off campus will need to have a risk assessment which you can find here.

Please be mindful that these rules could change at any time and with short notice depending on government or university guidance.

Blue Bar

Students are able to book blue bar on Mondays and Thursdays from 4th October, subject to availability. Any event in this space has to be something that any customer could watch and enjoy, for example, an open mic night, poetry slam or an interactive activity. Events in this space should be seen as an opportunity to expand the reach of your club or society by engaging with our customer base. 

No ticketed events can take place in Blue Bar as it has to be open to everyone, however your club or society will be able to take cashless, voluntary donations via the SU website.

Quizzes will now be limited to just Sundays and must be open to everybody. Here, student groups will have the opportunity to ‘take over’ the weekly quiz and raise money for their society, prizes will be provided which will be ten £5 vouchers at no extra cost to you and ticket sales will be done over the bars Round App at £1 per ticket. Bob will continue to run the quiz on select Sundays throughout the academic year and student group takeover dates will be decided at the start of each semester.

LCR

We can now start to take student group enquiries for the LCR from November onwards, however, please be mindful that there will be limited amount of availability in the LCR due to there now being two years of gigs in one year.
