Latest COVID-19 & Winter Flu Club Stance
Whilst the darkest days of the Covid-19 pandemic appear to be behind us, it is our belief in the committee that we as a club should remain vigilant and try to protect eachother as best as possible.
Whilst there are no legal restrictions that require self isolation, or for you to stay at home when unwell we still ask (in order to protect our wonderful community) that you do not attend our events.

Please check event advertising and our rules, privacy policy and COVID disclaimer for full details.
