We are hoping to provide a click and collect takeaway service early next week, once we have received clarification from Kirklees council.

We will keep you informed.

Updated 21st October

Following dialogue with Kirklees Council, we have now received further guidance regarding tier 2 regulations.

SEATING

Tables need to be a minimum 2 metres apart, therefore the seating has been re-arranged to accommodate this regulation.

A support bubble is a single person who is permanently  in a support bubble with another household.

SNOOKER

The good news is that we are now able to open up the snooker tables if we have good control measures.

Therefore we are opening the tables immediately with the following conditions:

• All equipment to be cleaned between customers; this includes; triangles, cues, chalk & all the balls.
• Players to be seated in between breaks.
• Spectators to be seated while watching.
• Players should stop playing on the non-match table when members enter the snooker room. (Toilet traffic)
• 2 metre social distancing rule still applies for players & spectators.

Updated 24th September

Marsh Liberal Club

COVID sub committee

Updated 2nd September

Hi all, it has been reassuring that generally everyone has been adhering to the guidelines and we have now been advised that local lockdown rules will be eased On Wednesday 2nd September.

We will be then back under the national restrictions which were brought into place on the 4^th July. 

What will this mean for Marsh Lib? 

• 1 way system to continue 
• Only 2 households to sit around a single table 
• Pool or darts available again 
• Snooker – initially only open 1 table,  as per the local lockdown and then review the situation once we know what is happening with the various leagues.
• Cards – we cannot see how this can operate without further easing of national restrictions. We are asking the card players  how they propose to play cards within Government guidelines.

 Just to remind everyone, the COVID sub committee have put together these regulations to adhere to Government guidelines, ensuring staff and customers are safe and the club can remain open. 

Updated 31st July

Local Restrictions

The implications of the Government announcement last night, means that inside the club , we are only allowed 1 household per table.

Also, to ensure members do not socialise with people they do not live with, we are closing the pool table, both snooker tables and the dart board until further notice.

Hoping my next announcement has more favourable news.

Updated 24th July

Firstly, the club would like to thank members for adhering to the guidelines.

We have now been open for a couple of weeks since lockdown, it is early days and business is building slowly.

We are now in a position to re-start the Tuesday quiz from the 28^th July with social distancing.

We are also in  a position to make the dart board but only allowing 4 members in the pool room to play either darts or pool, not both.
Members will need to use their own darts and wipe down the dart board and scoreboard after use.

The opening of the 2^nd snooker table is under review.

Just to remind everyone, only members are allowed on the premises to use our excellent facilities.

Please continue to follow our guidelines, including the one way system, at all times.

Thank you again for your cooperation.

Updated 7th July

Following advice received from the Government today, we are now able to open the snooker ‘match’ table during normal opening hours.

We are also opening the pool table, however, we are restricting the number of people in the pool room to a maximum of 4, while the table is in use.

Please continue to follow social distancing guidelines.
