- Our outside bar will be set up at the entrance to the groundskeepers store. A limited range of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks will be available from here only. The inside bars and the balcony will NOT be open.
- We will fence off the playing area so members will not be allowed to take drinks on to the outfield.
