Hello to all of our loyal members.
As you’d be aware, more easing of the COVID restrictions were announced on Monday by the Vic government.
Masks at the club are no longer mandatory, but we ask you wear one when you can’t socially distance appropriately.
Full bar service is allowed now, including eating and drinking standing up, so table service for drinks will not be on offer unless necessary. We will also be encouraging you to order food from the POS in the bistro accordingly.
We continue to adapt to the COVID normal summer ahead and ask you to ably assist us when visiting the club.
Welcome back to those who have returned to visit us, and we look forward to the many more who are yet to visit us recently.
Get around us folks, we need your support.
Cheers, George.

We plan to reopen the bar/TAB/social and outside areas at 11am and gaming at 10am on Monday Nov 9th.Not sure of number restrictions at this point, or any other curve balls that he may throw our way. We are set up with QR codes, so make sure your device is compatible, but for those who are unable to comply, please have your drivers licence, or the like, for presentation at the door. Masks will be mandatory.
We will post an update tomorrow afternoon to confirm.

Dear members,
The announcement by Premier Andrews has not delivered a lifeline to the club industry which has been left out to dry with his approach to deliver an unrealistic roadmap to re-opening for Victoria.
The enforced closure of the club has had a devastating impact on our members, staff, and local community, including:
• some casual employees (not on JobKeeper) reduced to zero hours and zero income.
• full time and casual employees reduced wages to JobKeeper amount.
• Large lost revenue amounts per month.
• Decline in cash position due to continuing expenses, even with the venue closed (insurance, utilities, employee benefits, security, IT support, existing contracts for gaming monitoring and service).
• Many sporting facilities closed at a time when our local community is looking for some mental health relief through exercising, personal interaction, and peer support through playing sport.
The proposed restricted opening of outdoor (only) hospitality is too far down in the listed reopening’s to have any meaningful impact. It is not a solution. When clubs opened with 20 per room, we ran at a considerable loss, but we were practicing for the proposed opening with 50 people per room within the appropriate COVID safe programs. It appears the easing of restrictions has been made with small café’s and restaurants at the forefront, not from an industry overall perspective.
Both Simon and I have sat through numerous Zoom meetings with Industry peak body colleagues, we know that a comprehensive industry opening plan has been submitted to government with extensive concessions, to create a safe environment for patrons and staff. This appears to have been dismissed by the government, despite similar plans working well in NSW and QLD for several months now. The sign in requirement at all clubs puts us in an ideal position to provide a safe indoor, seated, and distanced dining experience.
Since the government’s announcement on easing of restriction in regional areas, we have been waiting on the finer details of what is required of a venue to reopen. Only at lunchtime today, did we receive the latest information on the expectations, rules, regulations, capacity limits and definition of an outdoor area which was circulated to all hospitality venues, by which they all must comply.
We can assure you that together with the board of HCSC, we are working diligently to have our club “COVID” ready, when given the green light to reopen.
Until then, we will continue to keep our loyal members up to date on any relevant information that we can give you.
We miss you all.
Yours in Sport,
George Csifo, Simon Giles
General Manager, President

Dear members,
As we near the re-opening of our bistro to dine-in customers from 3 June, with the maximum time allowed for each session being two hours, we are taking a “walk before you can run” attitude regarding the reopening to enable staff and members to acclimatise to the “new normal”.
The bistro will be trading from this coming week with the following sessions:
Bookings procedures:
We will be able to cater for up to 20 patrons at any given time, in each divided space we have, as long as we comply with density requirements (one person per four square metres), and there are careful controls in place for shared spaces, e.g. foyers and bathrooms. Table spacing (allowing 1.5 metres) will also be enforced.
The staff have been through several information sessions, including COVID-19 physical distancing and hygiene practicing training. Every “session” will have a designated COVID-19 Response Officer (or similar) to oversee the implementation of the venue’s (COVID-19) plan.
We have introduced several key actions, including:
As you are aware, there are changes to the rules on almost a daily basis, but the staff and myself remain resolute in offering a safe & clean environment on each and every visit you have to our great club.
I look forward to seeing you soon and having a chat and I will continue to keep you informed on a regular basis.
See you soon,
George Csifo
General Manager.
