[03/17/20]   Corona Virus Important Information

The committee have made the decision that at present DARPC will remain open to existing club members only.

You are all aware of the current situation with the virus and therefore will be using the facilities at your own risk.

We do ask that any club members who attend adhere to a common sense approach and government issued guidelines for example..

1. If you feel unwell in any manner please DO NOT visit the club.

2. Adhere to the 2 metre recommended space between yourself and other club members.

3. If you are within the 'HIGH RISK' group please consider carefully if enjoying your hobby is more important than your health.

4. If you do have to cough or sneeze please ensure you use either a tissue over your face or a piece of clothing I.e the inside of your elbow. Remember this is an air borne virus so no sharing please. Place any used tissues in the bin.

5. Please remember government recommends washing hands for a minimum of 20 seconds or using hand sanitizer regularly and try to avoid touching your face.

The club will be closed to all NON-MEMBERS at present.

Any new members wishing to make enquiries about joining the club should contact the club secretary.

Keep safe during these quick changing times, be sensible and don't attend the club unless you are happy to take on the responsibility of the risks involved.
