An important update for members, guests and visitors.
|
Welcome back. We've missed you!
As per our recent communication we will be opening our doors as of Monday 1 June. While this is exciting news and we are looking forward to welcoming you back to your Club; we ask that you bear with us while we implement Covid-19 safety protocols to ensure the safety of you, our members, guests and staff. Although we are opening our doors we will be implementing a 50 person per area or zone policy within the Club, with strict social distancing regulations in place as advised by the Australian Government and Clubs NSW. In order to comply with this advice we will be implementing the following measures around both our clubs:
|
|
- We have implemented a vigorous hygiene regime disinfecting gaming machines, kiosks, ATMs, bathrooms and other surfaces on a regular basis.
- In support of the recommended social distancing of 1.5m; we have also moved tables to meet this requirement to improve the comfort and safety of our members and guests.
- Bar, gaming, Keno and TAB facilities will all be operational with social distancing rules applied.
- Additional Covid-19 signage has been placed around the Club to provide guidance on social distancing protocols.
- The Boardwalk Bistro and Deck Coffee Lounge will reopen with normal trading hours however we will continue to offer takeaway and home delivery options as well.
- Our Courtesy Bus will NOT be operational at this time but we are working towards reintroducing this as soon as safely possible.
- At this stage all live entertainment, members draw, in-house raffles, bingo and functions will remain suspended until social distancing restrictions allow these to recommence.
We recently launched a virtual raffle on Thursdays; our Mega Meat and Seafood Raffle; and we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported this initiative; we hope it has provided some much needed entertainment while your Club has been in lock down. We are in the process of launching two new virtual raffles on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons in lieu of in house raffles to keep the entertainment coming.
Our Friday Monster Market Raffle with over $2,000 in local business vouchers will not only provide our members and guests some additional entertainment but also show our local businesses some much needed support during this challenging time. It is also for this reason we have also decided to launch a Super Sunday Meat Raffle PLUS who doesn't love a meat raffle! You will be receiving further information on this shortly.
We sincerely appreciate all your patience and support during this difficult time and ask that you continue to bear with us while we work through these ever changing Covid-19 conditions. If you have any questions please contact Club reception on 6559 9110.
We will continue to monitor the advice of the Australian Government and Clubs NSW and implement advice accordingly and provide further updates as they become available.

We have more exciting news on what's happening at Your Club! - Update 8: Monday 11 May.
It has certainly been a world-wind few weeks here at Lauireton United Services Club and Kew Country Club.
Our Deck Pop-up Coffee Shop is now open at the back of the Sports Bar and due to the overwhelming response we have extended our hours from 8.00 am to 2.00 pm. A big thank you to everyone for all your support; it is greatly appreciated.
Our Boardwalk Bistro takeaway also launched for dinner last Thursday and will continue to be available from Thursday's through to Monday's. We have received a great response, and are therefore launching a home delivery service in conjunction with 13Cabs; the option of delivery will assist in making our affordable and convenient meals even more accessible to our less mobile members.
Another big thank you to all of you who participated in our Mother's Day Virtual Raffle on Thursday. We were overwhelmed with the response and increased the prize pool to $3,000 to say thank you. We have received great feedback from our virtual raffle as well as much encouragement to launch a weekly raffle which I am happy to say is now underway and will be launching this Thursday 14 May with over $2,000 in Meat and Seafood prizes up for grabs. Again, we hope that our weekly raffle will deliver some much needed entertainment and will be a whole lot of fun; as well as providing the opportunity to win some really great prizes.

We have some exciting news! - Update 6: Tuesday 21 April
We trust you are safe and well during these uncertain times.
You should have received a communication from us a few days ago updating our members on the Club and what has been happening in the background since our doors closed a few weeks ago.
As you know it has been unprecedented times and we are certainly in uncharted waters; but now our staff have returned for a few shifts a week, we are ready to put into action some fun and exciting new initiatives we have been working on.
Firstly, we are excited to announce that as of this Thursday we have a pop-up cafe and bottle shop opening at the back of the sports bar for takeaways. We have also been busy resealing the floor in the bistro kitchen as well as completing a few other maintenance tasks and once these are complete we will be launching our takeaway and home delivery menu.
As you know this Saturday is Anzac Day; which is traditionally a very special day for all of us. Unfortunately we are unable to commemorate our national day of remembrance in our usual manner but I am sure we will all be paying tribute to our fallen comrades from the comfort of our homes.
Lastly we have our Mother's Day Virtual Raffle coming up on Thursday 7 May; which will be a lot of fun and we hope you all enjoy it and win some great prizes.

Hello from Your Club - We are thinking of you! - Update 5: Thursday 16 April
Firstly, I would like to thank you, our members and our local community for the support we have received since the Government announced that we were required to close our doors on Monday 23 March in an effort to combat the spread of Coronavirus (Covid-19).
It has certainly not been smooth sailing; however the Board and Management team have been kept busy meeting regularly since we closed our doors. Our main focus has been on our staff, our members and managing our financial position during this time.
As mentioned, our primary attention has been to ensure the welfare of our staff with the implementation of Government initiatives in collaboration with Clubs NSW. I am pleased to inform you that your Club has commenced the Job Keeper program to assist our staff in reducing any financial stress.
The Job Keeper Program is designed to ensure employees remain attached to the business and has provided us the opportunity to identify areas of suitable work that can be carried out during this time.
As such I am pleased to advise that our staff have now returned to work for a few shifts a week to undertake a range of duties at Laurieton United Services Club and Kew Country Club to keep them engaged with fellow team members during this difficult time and to help ward off that dreaded cabin fever. Social distancing measures will remain in place to protect everyone's health and well-being.
Some of these tasks include maintaining the bowling greens and the golf course at Kew Country Club and marshalling the golf course to ensure members are adhering to our strict social distancing regulations click here to view the recent communication sent to our golf and bowls members.
Staff are also assisting with some much needed organising, tidying and maintenance, processing show ticket refunds and most importantly touching base with our most vulnerable members to check in and make sure they are well and taken care of. You can also stay up to date with all initiatives on our Facebook pages.
While we are working on a plan to reduce any financial impact on the Club to ensure we are in the best possible financial position throughout these difficult times; we are also working on some fun and exciting initiatives and look forward to sharing these with you very shortly.
We have received some queries regarding membership; and I would like to reassure you that your points, any vouchers you have on your card and your reward level is safe and we will not be adjusting membership levels or clearing rewards points during the shut down. As you would know renewal time is fast approaching and we will be advising you on these details in the very near future.
Thank you again to everyone for your support and understanding during this very tough time; and we will endeavour to keep you informed as things progress. We will get through this, and when the time is right we look forward to welcoming you back into your Club house when it is safe to do so.

- remind attendees and staff not to attend if they are feeling unwell
- remind attendees and staff that they must not attend if they have travelled overseas in the past 14 days
- ensure emergency management practices are up to date
- brief staff on how to practice good hygiene and making it easy for staff and attendees to practice good hygiene
- have adequate hand washing facilities available
NSW Health also offer this advice for attendees:
- stay home and not attend if you are feeling unwell
- stay home and not attend if you have travelled overseas in the past 14 days
Should the advice from AHPPC change, Laurieton United Services Club and Kew Country Club will update its policy accordingly.
We encourage all members, guests and visitors to stay up to date via our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/LaurietonUnitedServicesClub
While onsite all staff, members, guests and visitors are encouraged to practice good personal hygiene including,
- cleaning your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or use an alcohol based hand rub.
- cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with a tissue or flexed elbow.
We encourage attendees of organised functions and events at Laurieton United Services Club or Kew Country Club to liaise directly with those organisers, rather than the Clubs.
