Clubhouse reopening conditions

The Maitland Bridge Club will reopen on Monday 20 July 2020.

The club has amended its usual bridge playing numbers and operations after seeking advice from the Department of Public Health. 

The only stipulation is that we abide by the 4 sqm per person requirement. 

This will limit us to 8 tables (32 members including a director) at any session.

However, the Club can’t guarantee that the clubhouse will be free of infection.

If you come to the club you are warranting that:

1. You have no symptoms and,
2. No reason to think you may have been exposed to any COVID19 infection and,
3. Have not been in contact with anyone who has returned from overseas in the last two weeks.

If you cannot provide this guarantee please do not attend the bridge club.

You may be refused entry if in the judgement of a Committee member or a Director considers you pose a risk to other members.

We ask that you wash/sanitise your hands every time you enter the bridge club.

We ask that you complete the sign-in sheet on entering the club and that you please bring your own pen.

Please limit the number of people in the kitchen at any one time to two and consume any food either at the bridge table or outside.

Please place your glass/cup into the dishwasher when you have finished with it.
