Manager’s Report: December

I would like to thank you for continuing your patronage during these uncertain times, it is greatly appreciated by the team and we love seeing and catching up with you so regularly.

Last month we were excited to be able to gain access to the Hornby Club Events Centre on 24 November and are looking forward to having this space used for concerts, events, and member activities before Christmas and into the New Year. Later this month we are really excited to be opening Chalmers Restaurant. This side of Christmas we will be an A La Carte (table service) Restaurant.

We will start our Sunday Buffet Dinners in the New Year once we have had clarity on how this can be achieved within the Orange level of the Traffic Light Framework.

Traffic light system

For clarity and so you are aware in advance of the Traffic Light Framework coming into effect on Friday 3 December below is what we will be doing to check Vaccine Passes:

For Members:

• On your first visit in December, go to reception and show your membership card and Vaccine Pass
• We will link a note to your membership card so staff will know when you order you are vaccinated
• If this is not done staff will request that you go to reception and have it linked
• This is available any time from 1 December

Van Pick Ups:

• Our van driver phones have the scanner app on them
• Our drivers will scan your pass on pick up

Affiliated Club Members:

• At entry and each purchase affiliated members will need to show their vaccine pass

Guests:

• A vaccine pass will need to be sighted upon entering the Club
• The printed guest passes will need to be stamped by the door person or reception
