Cheam Squash Club - Re-opening on Monday 12th April 2021 @ 10:00am
So – here we go again – and long may we stay open!
Cheam Squash & Racketball will re-open its doors as of Monday 12th April at 10:00am
As advised by England Squash - the only modes of play that are allowed at this time are as follows:
Solo hitting / practice with only one player on court at any one time
One on One coaching for adults with a qualified member of our coaching team
Full play with individuals living at the same household address
Any other form of Squash / Racketball play is prohibited at this time
It is anticipated that this mode of squash will continue until at least 17th May – at which time we expect conditions to be relaxed in line with government, Sport England & England Squash guidelines. We will advise the membership as this happens
Rules of the club whilst we are phasing returning to club play are as follows (and not negotiable):
If you feel unwell / have any cold symptoms / are displaying COVID symptoms / have had contact with anyone with COVID DO NOT ATTEND THE CLUB
If you exhibit COVID symptoms after attending the squash club – please notify a member of the committee immediately
If you feel uncomfortable in a social / squash setting as a result of COVID do not attend the club
Do not arrive any earlier that 5 minutes before your booking – we have a 15-minute offset between courts – this will ensure that we limit traffic within the club)

"Parent guest of Junior Member"
"Junior Guest of Parent Member"
"Spouse / Partner of same household"
Courts must be pre-booked, no walk-ins (this allows evidencable traceability as required by the government
We would prefer for players to change / shower away from the club, however changing rooms are available at re-opening. No more than 3 people per changing room
No borrowing / hiring / sharing of equipment
The water fountain will be available but ONLY FOR REFILL OF WATER BOTTLES. DO NOT DRINK DIRECTLY FROM THE FOUNTAIN.

Also remember - Cheam Sports Bar will also be open from 12th April - There has been great work done in putting up an undercover area / outside seating - and its probably the biggest beer garden in Surrey!! Have a bit of a social get-together with club members or friends / family. Obviously the rule of 6 applies!
Have a great weekend - and will look forwards to seeing you all soon!
Cheers,
Stu.
