Failure to do so could mean a heavy monetary fine for the Club, or even full-closure.

Summarised below are some a the Government’s ‘Tier 3’ restrictions & limitations, that are applicable to the RAFA Club:-

• People are prohibited from socialising with anybody outside their household or support bubble ‘in any indoor setting’.
• The ‘Rule of 6’ continues to apply for socialising outdoors, for instance in a garden or public space like a park or beach.
• Pubs, Restaurants & Club’s – must ensure that customers consume food and drink only while seated.
• Exercise Classes and organised sport can continue to take place outdoors but will only be permitted indoors if it is possible for people to avoid mixing with those they do not live with (or share a support bubble with).
