The Club’s operations return to normal, but mask-wearing still applies!

Dear Members,

I am thrilled to bring you some good news and good cheer for the New Year.

From December 29, the Government has eased all the social distancing measures, with the exception of mask wearing.

This means there will be no longer any Vaccine Pass and RAT test requirements to enter the Club. The 12 person per table rule, and the requirement to keep 1.5m distance between tables, have been scrapped. Starting now, we can return to full seating in all our outlets.

There is one “BUT.” Masks must still be worn inside the Club, except when members and guests are at the dining tables. Masks must also be worn when entering the Club. Please remember to respect this one remaining Government regulation.

All our club facilities can now resume as normal. The sauna and steam room in Health Club will be reopen starting from today. Pre-registration is recommended with the gym attendant at 2844 2849.

Once again, I want to thank all the Members for your ongoing patience in the past 3 years. Your understanding and support has been crucial during these challenging times.

I also want to thank our loyal staff, who have had the tough job of implementing these constantly changing Government rules. When you are next at the Club, please take a moment and say thank you to the staff members, especially those you see at the entry and the reception desk who have been at the front lines of explaining and implementing these often-confusing rules, and assisting members with questions or problems. It has been a thankless and challenging job for them, and they would appreciate hearing a “thanks” from each of you. They deserve our praise for their tireless efforts over these last three years.

I would like to wish you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year and I look forward to seeing you at the Club in 2023 and the coming Year of the Rabbit.

Now let’s party!

Further relaxation of social distancing measures

Dear Members,

The Government has announced that with effect from today, 22 December 2022, members and their guests are no longer required to take a RAT test before attending a private function or club event. However the Vaccine Pass with a blue code is still required and must be scanned or presented when you enter the Club. Our staff will be actively checking the Vaccine Passes at the entrance, so kindly also remind your guests.

Also please be reminded that mask wearing is still required inside the Club, except when members and guests are at the dining tables. That also means masks must be worn when entering the Club.

Once again, I want to thank all Members for your ongoing patience as we continue to adjust to these new measures. Your understanding and support has been crucial during these often challenging last months and years.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a Happy New Year!

Keith Richburg President 22 December 2022

LeaveHomeSafe App is now lifted, however Vaccine Pass still applies

Dear Members,

The Government has announced that with effect from today, 14 December 2022, members and their guests are no longer required to scan the LeaveHomeSafe app before entering the Club. However the Vaccine Pass with a blue code is still required to present to our staff.

We can show your Vaccine Pass QR code through:      • The LeaveHomeSafe app      • The iAM Smart app      • The e-Health app      • A paper copy/ screenshots in mobile phone of your vaccination record

In case you or your guest is returning to HK and holding an overseas COVID 19 vaccination, please visit here to obtain the QR code for use in fulfilling the relevant requirements under the local “Vaccine Pass”. Other Club restrictions will remain in place. Feel free to visit here for more information. Once again, I want to thank all Members for your continued patience, understanding and your support.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
