| Coronavirus (COVID-19) - Update |
 |
Following the announcement that Solihull is to go in to local lockdown from Tuesday 15 September, we regret that the planned re-opening has been postponed. The Club will, therefore, remain closed, until further notice. During this time the Club will be fully closed, so unless a pre-arrangement has been made for access, please do not try to gain entry. The Board are uncertain when the Club will re-open, but are keeping abreast of advice and guidance provided by the Government, and other sources with a focus on Bridge Clubs.
Please watch this space for further developments, which will, hopefully, not be too far away.
If you have any questions, please contact a member of the Board, or email here.
Please look after yourselves and take care during this difficult time. We wish you all the very best.
