Dear Members,

The next stage in the relaxation of restrictions was announced earlier in the week so, from Monday May 17^th, we are able to welcome members and visitors into the club house – HURRAH !!!!!!!

We still have to adhere to government guidelines which will continue to be updated periodically. Under these, customers have to wear face coverings when entering, exiting or moving about within the club house and they can only be removed whilst sitting at a table to consume food or drink and the maximum number occupying one table are six people or two household groups. Additionally all orders for food or drink as well as their consumption can only be done whilst seated so please refrain from approaching the bar or kitchen service hatch.

Please ensure that you sign in using the NHS app for contact and tracing.

Recognising that being outside still presents the least risk of infection I would encourage all customers to continue to use the outdoor seating area on the deck whenever the weather is warm and/or dry enough.

The telephone ordering system has proven very effective so will continue to be used particularly from the deck area but also from within the club house where appropriate. For reference the contact number is 07970 425315 – if the call is not answered please wait a couple of minutes and try again rather then leaving a message. Details of the order process and phone number to use will be on each bench on the deck.

As previously mentioned for us comply with Covid guidelines ALL players should be added to the BRS booking system and, similarly, on the bowls booking system. Additionally I would ask any non players (golf or bowls) who come down to the club to enjoy the facilities to book in using the NHS QR app displayed around the club.

Stay safe

Dear Members,

It continues to be very gratifying to see so many members down at the club and taking the opportunity to sit on the deck catching up with friends and enjoying the bar and restaurant facilities. The weather has remained colder then it should and getting increasingly wet and with the forecast tomorrow (Saturday) indicating heavy rain for most of the day I am sorry to report that the bar and restaurant is likely to be closed although if the weather improves I may open the bar for the hardier members.

We are looking forward to the restrictions being changed again on May 17th to allow indoor seating and expect the rules to be announced next week when I will write out again with details.

The process of drinks orders being rung into the bar during the week has worked very well and will be continued. Under this process I would ask members to find themselves a seat down at the deck area and ring 07970 425315 to place their order which will then be walked down to where they are sitting – if the call is not answered please wait a couple of minutes and try again rather then leaving a message. Details of the order process and phone number to use will be on each bench on the deck.

We will continue to monitor the BRS bookings, please remember in order for us comply with Covid guidelines ALL players should be added to the BRS booking system and, similarly, for the bowls booking system. Additionally I would ask any non players (golf or bowls) who come down to the club to enjoy the facilities to book in using the NHS QR app displayed around the club.

On a final point of safety we have received reports from the Ale House that there have been a number of wayward golf balls landing in their beer garden from the 18 th tee. Action is being taken to minimise this risk by moving the 18 tee back and left so that the trees will provide protection to our neighbours. Could I ask all players to be extra vigilant when teeing off from the 18th . Signage will be put up at the 18th as a reminder as well.

Stay safe
