I am sure that you are already well versed in everything that is going on at present but I am required to remind you of those rules which specifically affect Ashton on Mersey Golf Club as from Thursday 24th September.

All hospitaality venues must operate table-service only which we already do but there are instances when members/vistors do approach the bar. This must not happen.

Together with all hospitality venues, we must close the bar at 10pm. This means that last orders will be called at 9.30pm.

All staff and customers in indoor hospitality must use face covering, unless seated at a table to eat and drink.

All existing rules including handwashing, social distancing and registering your name and contact number remain in place.

As from now, everyone entering the Dear Ken,

As from now, everyone entering the entering the Professional Shop and Swing Room, must by law wear face covering. In addition, Kris Andrews and his staff will be required to do the same.

I'm afraid that anyone breaching these rules will face financial penaities and the club could also be held to account.#

We want to make sure that our club does eveything possible to safeguard our members and vistiors and ask you give your full support to these measures.

Kind regards

Club Secretary 23/9/2-0

In view of problems raised by the Covid-19 virus and questions being raised by members we have arranged for a special email address to be used in future. Will members please use the address aomgolfcovidsafety@gmail.com when they require any information or guidance about how the virus affects our club. We have done this as to avoid such messages being missed on the normal e-mail address.

In light of yesterday’s announcement, we want to update the rules covering the Covid-19 guidance/legislation.

Rule of Six effective as from 14th September 2020.

The intention is to “simplify” the existing rules by reducing social gathering from 30 to 6 and to dispense with the 2 household restrictions. In some way it helps the club as we can allow more than 30 customers/members in the clubhouse providing that we take social distancing into account. We believe that as an ordinary bar we can accommodate 52 people, but no more.

Clearly, the downside of the new rules is that functions are pretty much banned for the time being, as all social gatherings are limited to six. The opinion is that we are not allowed to host wedding receptions or funeral wakes. We will be discussing this with the Caterers.

NHS Test and Trace

We are trying to make sure that we keep a record of everyone visiting the clubhouse, including members of staff. This procedure has now become a legal requirement. We want to thank the majority of you who comply with the simple rule of entering your name and telephone number, but some people still find it difficult and simply enter a shortened version of their names and no phone number. Please help us to protect everyone by complying with these simple rules.

Added Measures:

With immediate effect the staff will be carrying out random temperature tests on people visiting the bar. Anyone with a temperature higher than 37.6c will be advised to leave. This is intended as a further precaution to protect members and visitors to our club.

Social Distancing:

Pleased to report that most members have been observing social distancing, but as the soccer season starts again this coming Saturday, there will be a tendency to sit together whilst watching the screen. Our staff have strict instructions to remind members of their responsibilities towards everyone’s safety.
