The Prime Minister announced that these measures commence immediately.

Our club considers it important that we all take sensible steps to look after ourselves, our families and each other. We want to protect our members, staff and the public by minimising exposure to COVID-19 and reducing the risk of spreading it, as much as we can.

HOW WILL WE DO THIS?

1. We will follow all advice from government health and medical authorities.
2. We will introduce strategies at the club about exclusion and hygiene procedures.
3. We will keep you informed of what’s happening at the club.
4. We will require all members, public and staff to follow the below instructions
