*****MEMBERS UPDATE*****

WPBSA / EPSB Statement on the Re-Opening of UK Snooker Clubs

Following our previous statements with regards to the re-opening of UK snooker clubs we can now provide a further update following developments today (Monday 6th July).

In recent weeks, working with the independent All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Snooker we have sought urgent clarity from the UK government through its Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on behalf of snooker clubs as to when they would be able to re-open. This followed the announcements made by Prime Minister Boris Johnson on 23 June concerning the ease of lockdown restrictions coming into effect from the 4th July.

It has been confirmed by Nigel Huddleston MP (Mid Worcestershire), Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Sport, Tourism and Heritage at the Department for the DMCS that:

“Sports and physical activity facilities play a crucial role in supporting adults and children to be active. Snooker clubs have been allowed to open since 4 July, as long as they can follow the COVID-secure guidelines.”

We can also confirm that the government guidance titled: ‘Coronavirus outbreak FAQs: what you can and can’t do after 4 July’ has today been updated and at section 1.3 it is clearly specified that ‘snooker halls’ are now permitted to reopen and are expected to follow COVID-19 Secure guidelines.

There has understandably been confusion among snooker clubs during the past few days following conflicting advice received from both national and local authorities. We understand that in some cases enforcement action has been taken by local authorities to close some clubs over the past weekend and that some clubs have been advised that they could open, but not use their snooker facilities.

The WPBSA and EPSB are both therefore delighted to receive this clarity from Mr Huddleston and that our clubs will now be able to reopen ahead of other sports.

We would remind all clubs, however, that they can only do so if they are able to strictly follow the COVID-19 Secure guidelines issued. Clubs must also be aware that their local Health and Safety Executive (HSE) may exercise their powers to close clubs if they cannot demonstrate that these guidelines are being strictly followed.

If any 147 Club wishes to discuss their COVID-19 strategy, we recommend that they contact WPBSA Club and Facilities Manager Bob Hill who can provide further support.

Jason Ferguson, WPBSA Chairman said: “I would like to thank all those clubs who have worked so hard on their processes and procedures. In particular we recognise those who have contributed to the EPSB 147 Club policies which have been instrumental in seeing snooker clubs re-open ahead of many other indoor sports.”

Please note that as stated within the latest guidance:

This is national guidance that applies to England only – if you live in an area that is experiencing a local COVID-19 outbreak and where local lockdown measures have been imposed, different guidance and legislation will apply. Please consult the local lockdown restrictions page to see if any restrictions are in place in your area.

*****CLUB RULES DURING THIS PERIOD*****

All club members will be expected to follow social distancing protocal within the venue at all times.

Capacity will be restricted during this period and tables shall be logistically spaced out to help maintain a safe distance.

All Members are required to show their valid membership card on request and a members guest/s are required to show valid photographic I.D to gain entry. (NO I.D = NO ENTRY)

Each member shall be required to log in and out of the club with a track and trace system to assist with controlling the virus.

All House cues will be kept behind the bar area and cleaned/disinfected before and after usage.

All tables will be wiped down before and after every session.

A maximum of 4 members around any one table at all times.

Contactless payment is encouraged if possible with gloves and masks availible on request.

Once again, thank you to all of our members for your support during this period.

03/07/2020

*****Club Member Update*****

Unfortunately due to government guidelines as a business we fall under the indoor sports category, so we are unable to open up our Pool and Snooker facilities on the 4th July, as previously planned.

The club is however able to open to our members, under strict conditions to adhere to the Government guildlines.

Bingo and Slots facilities are permitted to be in use under strict social distancing measures, with a limited amount of players permitted inside the area at one time.

The Bar area is off limits to our members until further notice, table service for refreshments will be availible.

All house cues and billiard balls/including cue shop stock will be off site until our facilities can open completly.

Various floor and wall signs will be placed around the venue as a guide, with hand sanitizer located at the entrance. Further sanitizer and gloves are availible on request.

Further infomation will be updated once recieved on the procedures we must follow.

As soon as we have any further guidance and dates on opening up the Snooker and Pool facilities, we will let you know.

These measures are in place along with the current rules of the club and we ask that you all respect both these and the efforts of our team, who will assist you as best as they can.

Until then, thank you to all our club members for their patience during this difficult period.

The perfect tribute to one of the games most respected ambassadors.
