Club closed due to Alert Level 2

To all our Bridge Club Members

You will all be aware of the latest outbreak of community transmitted Covid-19 in Auckland, and as a consequence, the Bay of Plenty (and the rest of NZ, apart from Auckland) will be moving to level 2 at midday today (12th August) until 12.59 Friday night (14th August). Depending on what happens in the next 3 days, this could well be extended.
The committee met this morning under urgency to discuss the best outcomes for our members. Level 2 requires social distancing, preferably of 2 meters, and restricts gatherings of more than 100.

Due to the age of the majority of our members being 70+ and the impossibility to enforce social distancing we have decided, very sadly, to follow the governments recommendations and go hard.

Therefore, regretfully we will be closing the Bridge Club at midday today, and will remain closed while we are at level 2 or higher.

We hope this action will keep all our members safe which is our priority.

Stay well and safe and hopefully this won’t be for long.

We will keep members updated via email and the website.
