Hello Everyone,
I am pleased to announce that the Club will be re-opening from Monday 6th July at 7:00PM.
As you are probably expecting, we have had to make significant changes to the way the Club operates to meet with the current government guidance. We will, as an ongoing process be reviewing this regularly. We have assessed our operating procedures and adjusted them to meet or exceed the requirements.
Please see this link on the Club Website to see full details - we encourage everyone to read this before attending.
www.branstonhomeguard.com/club/?p=1312
Key Points
The number one priority is the safety of everyone - every single person has a responsibility to play their part.
Social distancing must be maintained, some tables and chairs/stools have been removed.
Please wash your hands regularly and use the hand sanitisers we have invested in.
No-one under the age of 18 is permitted on the Club premises at this time.
No Dogs (except official guidance dogs) are permitted at this time.
There will be a one-way system operating through the Club. Entry to the club will be via the Access Ramp, the stairs are one-way (down) and exit is via the main door (for those that don't have a need to use the access ramp). This means that on a toilet visit you'll need to take your coat if its raining!
On arrival at the club - all members MUST BRING their access cards. Do not use the door buzzer for access - you will be refused. Every member must swipe their card in the reader, regardless of whether someone is holding the door open for you or not. This allows us to track who is in the building on a given day. Additionally guests are limited to two per party - they must sign in fully with name, address and telephone number - this MUST be legible.
There will be no standing (except for when in the bar queue). On entering the club you should find a table/seating area that is large enough for your party (remember you should be from the same household or 'social bubble'). The lounge downstairs will be open for additional seating. If there are no available seating areas in the club, then unfortunately you must leave and return at a later time. There is no waiting area for tables inside the building, or on the access ramp.
There is a queuing system for bar access. To minimise contact all members and guests are expect to return empty bottles and glasses to the drop off area on the bar. A number of queuing positions are clearly marked. From the drop off area onwards, please do not move forward until instructed by the bar staff. Please be prepared to wait longer for service at the bar. Please do not abuse the bar staff over this, they are following the procedure they have been instructed.
Every drink will be served in a clean glass. If you are ordering more than two drinks a tray will be provided to avoid the need to return to the bar. Staff will handle glasses at the base wherever possible.
Contactless card payments are strongly preferred and recommended.
There may be some products that are unavailable at the time of opening. Alternative products are available.
The follow services will not be available until further notice:
Pool Table
Dart Board
Gaming Machine
Lottery Machine
Bingo
Live Entertainment
Dominoes
The Jukebox will be available via the App only, volumes will be limited.
Sky TV is available on all three televisions, again volumes will be limited.
Revised Opening times (these will be under review)
Monday: 19:00–23:00
Tuesday: 19:00–23:00
Wednesday: 19:00–23:00
Thursday: 19:00–23:00
Friday: 17:00–23:30
Saturday: 11:30–23:00
Sunday: 11:30–21:00
Above all - please use common sense, and maintain your distance from others.
There will be increased Committee presence in the Club during the opening hours. They have instruction to operate the Club in-line with the rules and regulations, please follow their advice. Their decision is final on all matters regarding the safe operating of the Club. In the absence of a Committee member, the Bar Staff have the same authority. Please do not abuse the Staff or Committee members, these changes are enforced upon us - we all have to work with them.
All of the above will be under constant review, and we reserve the right to make any adjustments as necessary.

Hello everyone, we hope you are all keeping well. It has been a while since the last update. I've had a couple of questions of late asking if we are ready to open on the 4th July so I thought I would update you all.
With regards to the club reopening, there has been no official guidance published by the Government regarding the opening of licensed premises. There has been a lot of speculation about beer gardens opening this month, but we would advise you to ignore it. It just isn't practical for a lot of licensed premises to open that way.
As it stands at the moment everything is still in a state of flux, we are reviewing the news on a daily basis, and as soon as we get the go ahead we will let you know. I don't wish to speculate when it might be at this time as we simply don't know.
When we are allowed to reopen you should expect significant changes on how we operate to meet the social distancing regulations in place at the time. It will be a long time before things are fully back to normal. More information to follow.
That said, we are looking forward to welcoming you back soon. Stay safe.
Adam.

Any up dates for any opening from 4th July?
The early hours of tomorrow morning marks the 77th Anniversary of Operation Chastise also known as The Dambusters Raid.
Lest we should forget the brave airmen and innocent civilians who lost their lives during this historic Second World War raid.

As we couldn’t have a party night, we’ll look at doing something special when we are allowed to reopen.
Hi All,
I hope you are keeping well. I thought I would send a quick update to let you know, that despite the restraints of lockdown and isolation, the Officers and Committee are doing a sterling job of keeping all the business side of the Club going during this difficult time.
Special thanks to Robin (Treasurer), Ian (Acting Secretary) and Dave (Bar Manager).
For the first time in our history we held a virtual Committee Meeting via teleconference this week.
I've looked back into some records, and as far as I can tell this is the only mandated closure of the Club since 1944. These times are challenging for everyone and every business.
We look forward to welcoming you all back as soon as we are allowed.
In the meantime, stay safe and look after yourselves and each other.
Best Regards,
Adam (Chairman)

A tough decision, but the right one. Keep safe everyone, and perhaps when it’s all over, we can organise a ‘bit of a do’ to celebrate 🍺

The fabulous Ocean Blue are at the club on Saturday 5th October. Get here early if you want a seat!
Finally got to see Mr Showbiz himself, Steve Clements, last night at the delightful Branston Home Guard Club. It was Steve’s first time there and I’m certain it won’t be his last! Steve is a one man entertainment show, singing, playing guitar, jokes (if you can call them that!!), dancing and just 100% committed to making sure everyone has a wonderful time! The small but very appreciative audience definitely did!
For starters Steve looks the part, immaculately turned out from his shiny shoes to his (real!) diamond encrusted shirt. I couldn't believe it when he told me his repertoire includes around 300 songs! (No cheating lyric sheets required by this pro either!)
Last night was the place for all the timeless classics, from Elvis, Buddy Holly to UB40 and The Jam. The highlight for me was his Status Quo medley! At one point he played the guitar behind his head, I have no idea how anyone can do that!
The following day I’m still sitting with a smile on my face.
Great little venue too, I was instantly made to feel welcome and it had a real family atmosphere. A special “Hello” to Ian & Val Barton who I used to know around 15 years ago!
If you get the chance to see brilliant Steve - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Saturday 17th August 2019 - GIN Tasting Night
