I have recently been in contact with Birtley Golf Club and they currently provisionally intend to re-open the lounge for our use on Monday 17th May.
This is obviously subject to Govt. regulations and the details of how it would work in practice, how many people would be allowed in the venue etc. are still to be confirmed. They will stay in contact with me as more clarity is gained around the details of the re-opening and I will pass them on to you.
From what was seen last time they opened the lounge, they will be adhering to all the regulations and best working practices.
To that end, could I ask you to let me know your views on whether you would like to come back to ‘live’ meetings when it is possible to do so?
At the same time, I think the Zoom meetings have been really good for letting us be in contact with friends from around the country, so we will be looking at how that contact can be maintained when face to face meeting restart. We want to retain any good things that have come out of this lockdown after all.
We have agree that we will delay the decision to return until the Golf Club Committee can review how well their Covid procedures are running after they reopen on the 17th. Therefore, the earliest date we will return is the 24th of May.
