When I wrote to you on the 16th September I honestly did not expect to be writing to you again so soon with more changes but clearly our fight against the Coronavirus has taken a step back in the last week. This has prompted the government to make more regulations leading us to make amendments to the way we operate. Therefore, the following are mandatory for all licensed premises:

• Our Club must be shut and vacated by 10pm every day. Last Orders will therefore be at 9.20pm with Time at 9.30pm.
• Face Coverings must be worn at all times whilst in the club except when sitting down.
• Staff will wear face coverings at all time.
• Table Service only so no purchases from the bar.

These are not guidelines, they are the law and individuals and our club can be fined for not complying. The individual fines start at £200 and the club could be fined up to a maximum of £10,000 so the government are clearly being very serious.

This situation has been tough for many people and businesses and I have been very pleased at the way our Staff have rallied and our Members have been sensible and supportive to keep us open and also financially viable. So again I must ask everyone to follow these new rules, they are not ideally the way we want to operate but we and you have no choice. When we first opened we were visited a couple of times by our local constabulary and I fully expect that to happen again so please help us to keep the club open and avoid any fines. Our staff, the committee, the members and myself will be expected to ensure these rules are followed, please do not make this difficult in what are already tough times but also please keep supporting your local club:

• We have another live band booked for Saturday 10th October, SoulCatchers and more details will follow but they will be starting earlier than normal.
• Our Sunday Quiz is also continuing but will be starting at 7.30pm sharp.
• Sport will also continue to be shown on the Big Screen.
• We will also shortly be providing hot snacks in the form of Pies, Pasties and Sausage Rolls.

Thanks in advance for your co-operation.

Please support your local Club.

The Club created a special page for you to comment on what the club means to you. Here are your lovely comments:

 "Happy Birthday to the best club around. Joined the club when I moved to the area and enjoy the live music on Saturday evenings and the football on the big screen. A very friendly club and great bar staff. Here's to the next 100." Stuart Dawson

 "The club has a relaxing surrounding and a very diverse membership, which shows the club in high esteem. I have personally enjoyed being on the committee for 15 years and helped organise many sporting events, the main one being with the appearance of Phil the Power Tayor. I remember Phil describing the club as playing in 'Buckingham Palace' high praise indeed. Also, the entertainment is very diverse and suits all the desires of the members. I have many good memories but the members do make the club what it is." David Cocks

 "David and I go on Thursdays to meet with other Insync members, we also go to the main club room. The Central club is very generous having Insync in the club. We've really missed going there, not only on Thursdays. The people we know in the main club are great, welcoming and very friendly. It will be so good to get back, hopefully not too far away." Judy Smyth

 "Simply thanks for all the good times and simply always being there. Thanks again" Michael Laird

 "I love Saturday night's with some great bands and a chance to get up and dance." Jennifer Newth

 "Looking forward to a decent band for a Saturday night, including Somethin' Else and The Rock N Sax Show." Malcolm Pickup

 "It is the best social club in Chandlers Ford with a relaxing, friendly atmosphere with local bands and a great range of lager beers and ales. Here's to the next 100 years!" Mark Hayes

 "Good place to watch football which justifies the higher bar prices than other local establishments and a picturesque beer garden out the back for those who want to drink a non alchaholic beverage. The club is great." Ash Churchill

 "Always feel at home there!" Pam French

 "Been a member since 1967. Congrats to the club on its 100 years. Andy and the Tuesday evening crowd are a great bunch of people to spend some time with before I get me curry. Hughie will be sadly missed." Chris French
