All staff have undertaken WHS and Covid-19+ Risk Minimisation Training prior to the re-opening and the Club has undergone a viral sanitation clean.
The Club in the interim will open at 11am each day.
The Board, Management and Staff will ensure complete compliance and not compromise the Club, members, guests and staff. Your co-operation and understanding is appreciated and we apologise in advance should the mandatory restrictions not allow you to enter the Club.
