Weekly Update 28-January-2022
In view of the current OMICRON situation the committee has decided to introduce compulsory mask-wearing from Monday 31 January, a few days before the government mandated date of 4 February. Please follow government guidelines in terms of the type of masks worn.
Apologies are due to players from last Wednesday night for the inaccuracy in the booking system which saw too many people turn up for the session. Thank you to those who graciously went home and also to Neal Phillips for stepping up to help in the office at a time of very high demand.
These are testing times and we will continue to monitor developments closely. Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
Marilyn Copland, President
