the rules for this are clear as mud, ive just read that nobody is allowed to watch with a drink? not sure how anyone can enforce that in a public place, if we open the bar to the public as we planned what are we supposed to tell them? you can drink as long as you dont watch us play?

seems like whatever you do to make your clubhouse meet the requirements, you will be wrong somehow

Just had an email through from my club saying the bar will be open, but you�re not allowed in the bar. You need to download a QR thingy, order them through an app, and drinks will be delivered to you. Based on how cold it was yesterday I hope mulled wine is on the menu.

ordering through an app might be difficult for a tiny village club. last season we just had a one way system to the bar and nobody drank inside.

i appreciate all clubs are different and have varying facilities but there has to be a simpler solution.

Run the bar from a table placed across a doorway, only staff inside, serve drinks at a window? Quite a few bars up the road from me were doing this last summer so could be workable for a small cricket club bar.

Yep we did the same and are doing the same again when we open the bar up on Saturday.

We have a one way system, only 1 person allowed in at a time, and everything must be drunk outside in accordance with government social distancing guidelines.

I mean, you could just.. you know.. NOT open the bar to the public?

So the issue is spectator events aren't really allowed yet, I appreciate this was the case to prevent large scale professional type events but that's the way the law and roadmap has been written and small clubs have to deal with that.

The prob with having the bar at the club open is that you'll begin to attract spectators, instead of people in a park who just happen to be watching some cricket.

again.. just... you know... not open the bar??? It really isn't that hard to just not open for a few weeks longer

That's fine if it's not an important revenue stream that you can't operate without. Not convinced that is true for all clubs.

Depends how much money you've lost as a result of Covid. There are definitely clubs out there who are at real risk of going under.

Is this actually allowed currently? I thought no ordering of drinks inside and table service only? Maybe i've got confused on this but we are not opening bar until next round of easing measures

sat - bar was open, loads of spectators
sun - bar was open, few spectators

Tue eve for all stars - bar was open, loads of parents drinking
Wed for all stars (sending the boy to 2 a week)... bar open, loads of parents drinking

as predicted.. clubs are ignoring the 'rules' just like pubs. predictable

however, in the case of the clubs I was at, they did force people apart and really did do outdoor service only.. no one inside.. so compared to every pub I've seen which packs people in in groups.. it was actually very good. fair play to them

Cheers, so key bit here is the outdoor service...�.we've interpreted rules as no ordering at bar, as we have no window at bar or close to a door to offer a table with drinks etc. we have decided its not right to open. I am pretty sure a club around the corner will open and just tell people to drink outside once they have got their drinks though. Its a key source of revenue for us

QR code system is working pretty well so far, although I did have to wait 8 minutes for my G&T on Sunday, which understandably left me feeling mildly livid.
