NEW: The health and safety of all our returning members are a top priority for the Board of Directors. While on the premises, it is important to wear a mask at all times (the exception is eating or drinking in the MP 1 room only), be doubly vaccinated, respond to a few COVID/Delta questions, and maintain a physical distance of at least two metres when socializing.
