RULE OF SIX RESTRICTIONS

The recent Rule of Six Covid-19 restrictions mean that we have had to limit the number of players that can attend on a club evening to a maximum of twelve people, in two separated ‘bubbles’ of up to six.

The club room will be divided into two separate sections, each of which will be isolated from the other by a sliding partition, with separate exits to prevent contact between the two ‘bubbles’. This means that we can run games in multiples of two, three or four, with a maximum size of six players.

So, for example, one half of the club room in a bubble might have a six person multiplayer game of Cruel Seas, while there could be three tables of two, or two tables of three or even one table of two and a four player game in the other half of the room. The two halves of the room are not the same size, however, so we cannot have six games of two running at the same time.

Obviously, this means that you MUST pre-arrange games in advance and not just turn up on the off chance of joining in. All games will be arranged via the club Group IO forum, where you can either advertise a game you wish to run or ask to join a game on offer. All tables MUST be booked in advance via the club table booking system on the website.

If you do book a table but then have to cancel, please let Andy or Alan know so that they can offer the space to someone else or avoid having to set up tables unnecessarily. If you are not sure if there is sufficient space for you to fit a table in, please ask via the club forum to double check.

In addition, the wearing of masks is mandatory whilst attending the club night. If you are exempt from wearing a mask for health reasons, it would be acceptable to wear a visor instead.

Social Distancing must be observed during club evenings.

All tables and chairs must be wiped down before and after each session. If you are bringing terrain or figures to use, you must ensure that they are sterilised before you bring them to the club. Alternatively, if your opponents have their own figures, you may wish to avoid sharing by just handling your own models. All club terrain will be quarantined between sessions to avoid contamination.

If any player from a ‘bubble’ develops Covid-19 symptoms or tests positive for Covid-19 they MUST inform the other players from their group immediately.

If we all stick to the rules, we can still enjoy some wargaming!
