Update from SYFA re office closure
In light of yesterday’s updated advice from the UK government regarding working from home where possible, the SYFA office will close at 17:00 today until further notice. We do not take this step lightly, but must act in the best interests of the general public and emergency services and with the health and safety of our staff and volunteers in mind.
Festivals and Tournaments Guidance -
Good Morning
This email has been sent to all League and Regional Secretaries.
We are still receiving some enquiries regarding teams hoping to travel to festivals and tournaments outwith Scotland. The likelihood is that this matter will be taken out of their hands entirely, as most large scale events and gatherings across Europe are being cancelled or postponed, along with flights.
