Dear Members and Guests,

We are delighted to announce that we are opening from this Thursday evening 21 May, 2020 for restaurant dining.  In line with the Stage One easing of trading restrictions on places of gathering, we are now able to accommodate 10 persons for dining, at any one time.

From Thursday 21 May – Saturday 23 May, we are offering two evening dining sessions of:

• 5:00pm – 6:15pm and
• 6:15pm – 7:30pm

Then from Thursday 26 May, we will be offering three evening dining sessions of:

• 5:00pm – 6:15pm
• 6:15pm – 7:30pm
• 7:30pm – 8:45pm

We will continue to offer three dining sessions each evening (Tuesday – Saturday) until Saturday 13 June, when the planned easing of restrictions moves to Stage Two. Information about our operations under Stage Two will be clarified in the coming weeks.

Please rest assured that we have carefully reviewed the Government health and safety guidelines and have taken all the necessary measures to ensure that our Club is a safe, hygienic and enjoyable venue. The wellbeing of our staff and our community will always be our highest priority. In line with this, guests are asked to abstain from visiting us if they feel unwell. You will also be asked to sanitise your hands upon entry and to maintain appropriate social distancing whilst in our venue. Lastly, Government regulations require that we must keep the name, address and phone number of one person per booking.

Our new dine in menu is available for you to view here.  If you prefer to enjoy our delicious meals at home, our takeaway menu will continue to operate during this time.  As a community club, we are thrilled to be able to welcome you back through our doors again and we look forward to seeing you in Club soon.

To make a booking, please contact us on 3354-1333 during our current Reception hours of Noon – 8pm, Tuesday – Saturday.

Please note that we are unable to accept vouchers or offer member points on purchases at this time. These services will recommence in the near future. We thank you for your understanding and support during this time.

Kind regards,

Glyn Wallis

Dear Members and Guests,

Recently on Friday 8 May 2020, the Federal Government announced the stages of the re-opening plan for dining and entertainment venues over the next few months, as the country begins to return to a more normal mode of operating in this recovery period.

Here at Arana Leagues Club, we are carefully reviewing the Federal and State Government advice to ensure that we are fully compliant and can re-open in a safe and enjoyable manner for both our customers and our staff. In the interim, our takeaway menu will continue and the bottleshop will remain open.

We look forward to sharing our re-opening date and details with you shortly and welcoming you back through our doors again.

Our sincere thanks for your support during this time.

Kind regards,

Glyn Wallis

Chief Executive Officer

Dear Members and Guests,

As you would probably be aware the Covid-19 situation has moved quite rapidly over the last few weeks. We are continually monitoring this situation and have taken steps to protect our staff, members and guests.

As a community club we will do our best to continue to provide the best venue we can for our community through these almost unprecedented times. We do ask for our community’s help with this by asking that you:

• Evaluate your own health and that of people you are in close contact with.
• Stay at home if you begin to feel unwell, even with mild symptoms such as a headache and slight runny nose.
• Please do not attend Arana Leagues Club if any of the following apply:

1. You have left or transited through the following countries within the past 14 days (Mainland China, Iran, Republic of Korea, Italy or other updated country)
2. You have arrived from overseas on or after midnight 15 March 2020, as per the Australian Federal Governments directive.
3. You have been in close contact with a person who has been diagnosed with COVID 19 or is displaying the symptoms of COVID-19.
4. You have been directed to self-isolate.

We encourage all visitors to adhere to the following important safety measures from The World Health Organisation, to limit the spread of COVID-19:

• Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.
• Maintain at least 1 metre distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
• Avoid physical contact when greeting. Safe greetings include a wave, a nod or a bow.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Immediately dispose of the used tissue.
• Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the directions of your local health authority.

We take our staff’, members’ and guests’ safety very seriously and will do our utmost to continue to do so.

Please do not hesitate to make contact with myself or one of the team if you have any queries about this communication.

Yours Sincerely,

Glyn Wallis
