Masks must be worn at all times when walking around the clubhouse (corridors, locker rooms, toilets etc) Once you are seated at a table you may remove your mask. (It is not mandatory to wear a mask for those with an exemption certificate)

Only table service is available in the clubhouse. You must not approach the bar. Once you have taken your seat a member of staff will come over to take your order.

Staff will clean tables on a regular basis, with signs posted on the table to allow the santising solution to settle on furniture and tables. Disposable cloths will be used to wipe down each table and chairs. Please do not use the tables whilst the 'cleaning in operation' table signs are visable.
