CGS MEETINGS

CHECK LIST FOR MEMBERS

The CGS in conjunction with the CBC’s COFID-19 Safety Plan and Check list, which is based on the ACT Government’s guidelines, have developed conditions for access and use of their facilities.

If you wish to play at our club room in the Canberra Bridge Club building at Deakin you must agree to the following requirements:

BEFORE THE MEETING

(See the Membership link for online entry) Non-members must pay $10 per game night but will need to prepay or use the e-payment (Square) facility provided. No cash will be handled at the club.
  • Consider whether you should actually stay at home, eg:

➢ if you have a fever, are unwell, or have recently returned from overseas; or

➢ if you have been in contact, or suspect you have been in contact, in the past two weeks with someone who has COVID-19 or a similar illness, or who has recently returned from overseas.

 

  • Bring a smart phone with the CBR check in app installed with you to check in. This is now required for tracing purposes.

  • On entry and before play check in using the CBR app. (Scan the QR code at the entrance (The CGS one, not the Bridge club one.))
