Latest Indoor Play Information...PLEASE READ!
In preparation for the start of the league season, hopefully in November, it is important for members to familiarise themselves with some of the requirements the club will need to impose in order for members to minimise the risks against covid. Please read the list below intended for your benefit.
Social distancing and sanitising measures are critical at all times so please bear these in mind when you come to play.
When there are two playing sessions running consecutively the second session will start half an hour after the end of the first. Players for the second session will not be allowed into the club until fifteen minutes before their play will start and are asked to wait until invited inside the building. So, please do not come too early for your playing session.
It is essential that the ventilation fans will be running during playing sessions. This may result in cold draughts in the indoor hall. Please will members come suitably dressed to allow for the possibly reduced temperature.
Thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding under present circumstances.
PLAYER’S RESPONSIBILITIES:
Maintain 2 metre social distancing at ALL times.
Sanitise hands on entry and sign in.
FACE COVERINGS MUST BE WORN WHEN ENTERING THE CLUB AND IN THE SPECTATOR AREA. They can be removed in the catering and bar areas.

RINK FEES:
Payment is contactless. Have your card ready.
Change your shoes at the chairs allocated at the side of the rinks. Leave your belongings on/under the chair but then move onto the green to your rink ready for play.

Rosemary Phelps is the contact for this facility.
