As our region of the country has been placed within ‘tier 3’ for COVID restrictions the management committee have decided that the club will be closed with effect from Wednesday 16^th December until further notice and certainly for the rest of 2020.

The management committee will continue to monitor the situation and will take advice as necessary from the EIBA, local authority and government in making further decisions regarding the running of the club and when and how it can reopen.

All

As you no doubt are aware, our region of the country has been placed within ‘tier 2’ for CoVID restrictions. This means that we can re-open the Club on Monday 7^th December but with some very strict conditions:

-         Opening Hours – Monday to Friday 10am-7:30pm

-         Sessions will begin at 10am, 12noon, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm – each will last for 90minutes; extending the gap between sessions for safety reasons. Players are expected to leave the Club immediately after the conclusion

Please see latest news from the Club....

Following the recent announcement from the government of another national lockdown, the Club will remain closed until at least Monday 7th December.

Temporary Club Closure

The CoVID Sub-Committee are continuing to meet and liaise with the Management Committee in regards to whether we can re-open safely with the current Government guidelines.

No decision has been made yet, therefore the temporary closure will now be extended to at least Sun 8^th November.

We understand those disappointed with this, but it is a delicate situation. Please keep your eyes on the website for interim updates, or of course your e-mail.

Temporary Club Closure

As you will no doubt have heard by now, Essex County Council recently approached the government to be placed at a higher level of risk from CoVID, dubbed ‘Tier 2’. This was agreed and will take place from midnight this Friday onwards. Southend Council is autonomous from Essex County Council and therefore currently is not placed in Tier 2.

Clearly this has created a huge problem for the Club, with a huge number of our members living outside Southend
