As you may be aware, London and Greater London has been elevated to Tier 2 Covid Restrictions from Friday 16 October.
This means that people must not meet socially with friends and family indoors in any setting unless they live together or have formed a support bubble with them. It is illegal to meet in larger groups.
This makes socialising inside the clubhouse difficult, and the decision has reluctantly been taken to close the clubhouse, apart from access to the toilets on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
The rules allow people to meet in groups of 6 out of doors, so the clubhouse will continue to open on Sunday mornings to allow people to meet on the patio area for socially distanced tea, coffee, etc.
Therefore: on Thursdays, it’s opening up by 6.00pm, but closing after the last runner leaves.
On Sundays, opening by 9.00am and drinks served on the patio area until 11.30am.
If the weather precludes sitting outdoors, then the clubhouse will close after the last runner leaves.
Current procedures relating to the serving of drinks remain in force ie table service only.
Happy running
Clubhouse Team
