Dear Members,

Like everybody in the State of Victoria, I am glad to see the end of the latest Covid lockdown and a return to normality for us all.

Whilst some restrictions were eased last week, this Friday will see a greater easing which will enable the ISCW to fully re-open its doors and welcome back our members and guests to enjoy the many facilities and services that we have to offer.

An important change that we will have to adhere to, however, is that all patrons, members and their guests, must be fully vaccinated and be able to provide evidence to support this. This is a legal requirement imposed on the hospitality industry by State Govt and the financial penalties for failing to comply will be very significant.

I ask all members wanting to enter the Club to be fully aware of this requirement and to respect the staff of the ISCW who will be charged with the responsibility of performing the appropriate checks on all patrons wishing to enter. This will apply to all areas of the Club, be it gaming, bistro, members area, bocce area or the Sala Roma for shows and functions.

After such a long shutdown, our staff, who must also be fully vaccinated, are excited and eager to welcome you all back as we begin the countdown to Christmas.

I would also like to take this opportunity to inform our members of an exciting new development which has been sanctioned by the Board and is now in the early stages of planning. This is for the construction of an outdoor alfresco dining area at the front of the Club, which we hope will cater for 80 to 100 people. We believe that this will be an overdue and exciting addition to our facility which will give us greater flexibility and I think it will be an area which our members will appreciate and support. More information will be shared with you as it becomes available.

I look forward to seeing you all in the very near future as we slowly adjust back to our pre covid life. It has probably been the greatest challenge that many of us have faced to date, but we can all be proud to have been able to come through it together. It has certainly been a tough time for the viability of the Club and for our loyal staff who have stuck with us, but at least we now have a way forward .

Keep a lookout for any functions we may be able to organise in the lead up to Christmas but for now, please stay safe and continue to enjoy everything our great Club has to offer.

Best Regards
John Menegazzo
President ISCW
