Face to Face Bridge at Berkhamsted Bowls Bridge Club recommenced on 12th October. So as to ensure a Covid-safe environment for you all, we continue to heed the Government Covid Guidelines.

To this end:

• We request you only attend if, at the very least, you have been double-jabbed. Please do not attend if you feel unwell, especially with Covid or even cold symptoms.
• Hand sanitiser is provided on each table, and we ask that you use it each time you change boards.
• The front and back doors will be kept ajar to ensure the circulation of air (as per Government guidelines). At this time of year the heating will be on but would advise that you bring extra layers in case you feel chilly.
• While not compulsory, we suggest the wearing of masks (if able).

We hope that, by having these precautions in place, it will give you confidence to return to Face to Face Bridge. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact one of us.

We look forward to you joining us again soon.
