4. Members who have tested positive for COVID-19 will be asked not to attend the Club until such time as a medical certificate provides confirmation the member has satisfactorily recovered.

5. There is no access to venue at any time unless attending a sanctioned training or involved in sanctioned work. This means no casual use of ground, no jumping fence or using a known key for unofficial trainings.
