- Clubs will be permitted up to 80 people at their venue at any one time. This does not include staff. Areas can be inside or outside the Club.
- Up to 20 people will be permitted in each room or enclosed “separate area” within the Club, providing the 4m2 per person rule is used to calculate each area’s capacity and the 1.5m social distancing obligations are met by patrons when queuing, entering and exiting the Club.
- Staffed areas cannot be considered part of the capacity calculation, eg behind the bar.
- A “separate area” within the club is defined as enclosed if it is fully or partially enclosed by a ceiling/roof and walls such that the combined area of the ceiling and the wall surface exceeds 70% of the total ceiling/wall space. Walls, ceilings can be temporary in nature;
- Patrons in all areas must be seated at this stage. Family for example are permitted to sit together at tables without social distancing, however the back of any chair at any table must be at least 1.5m from the back of the chair at another table;
- Patrons will be permitted to consume alcohol without a meal, but they must remain seated;
- Bar service will be permitted, however drinks must be consumed away from the bar and while seated;
- Meals cannot include salad bars or buffets;
- No TAB or gaming as yet
- Every Club will be required to complete a compulsory “checklist” in relation to their “COVID-19 Safe Plan”. This will be made available via a Government website link, however it is not yet available. We have been advised that it will be easy to complete and we will let you know as soon as it is made available.
