During July the Club tentatively trialled the opening of the Club Bar on a Friday evening - with strict Covid-19 restrictions in place - to selected members.

This has proved to be successful and we are now in a position where we can expand this facility to other members - subject to them meeting the strict Covid-19 restrictions.

We will impose the following conditions - which any member wanting to come to the Club MUST adhere to

1) Only fully paid up members should apply - no guests.

2) Those attending MUST book in advance - by Email - by reply to this Email or Email - stephencbull@gmail.com - or Text - 07786034941 - so we can list those in attendance and comply with "Track & Trace" procedures.

3) Maximum of 15 members present including Bar Staff.

4) The Bar will be open from 8.00pm to 10.00pm.

5) You can only use the upstairs disabled toilet.

6) Where possible Social distancing - 1m+ - to be maintained in the Clubhouse including the lounge.

7) Table service only.

8) Hand sanitisers to be used on entry to the lounge.

9) Preferably payment by Credit card or smart phone only.

10) Alcohol only to be served in bottles or cans - and a glass/no draft beer.

11) Attending members can wear masks if they want and the Bar Staff will have masks available which they may choose to wear.

No one who feels ill or has Covid-19 symptoms should attempt to enter the Clubhouse and notices to this effect have been put up. We have also put up notices to reference regular washing of hands.

We will wipe down/spray - with a suitable disinfectant - the bar area, disabled toilet & Lounge furniture before and after the session and occasionally during the session.

The Bar stools have been removed and put in the back bar - which will be out of bounds.

The tables in the main lounge - have been spread out a little more - but their spacing was not really an issue as they are reasonably well spread out anyway.

All this assumes there are no further changes to government guidance.

If you wish to visit the Club you MUST book in advance and entry will be limited to the first 15 Members - including Bar Staff - that apply - and you can only attend if you have received a positive response to your request. If you have not received a positive response to your request you will be refused entry into the Bar.

Regards.

Steve Bull.
