With the latest easing of restrictions the Hall Green HG Club will reopen on Monday the 17th of May.

The operation will be the same as when we closed table service only and masks to be worn to and from your table.

We look forward to seeing you back again next week!

HALL GREEN, 21A DOVERIDGE RD,  B28 0LS

JANUARY  2021

Following a very difficult year, the committee would like to thank all those members and staff who supported the club during some extremely challenging conditions.

With the receipt of the substantial 2020 business support grant the club’s finances are sound. further smaller grants are in the pipeline

The opportunity was also taken to avail ourselves of the back-up of the government supported “bounce back loan”. This is an interest free loan (if needed) repayable in May 2021.

Actions have been taken to reduce costs wherever possible, and to date savings have been, or will be made in a number of areas: –

• Gas supplies, for the delivery of draught beers
• Waste and glass collection
• Ladies toilets   hygiene services
• Sage payroll systems
• Credit card services.

Utility usage is monitored and controlled, with heating throughout the club for limited times each day, to keep frost and damp at bay.

Bar stocks have been reduced and where possible credits or allowances obtained for “lost” draught beers.

The committee have now reviewed arrangements for the collection of annual subscriptions, under the current COVID restrictions we will not be able to collect subscriptions in the normal manner. it is now planned that collections will take place when the club can re-open, more on this topic later.

Staff have all been retained and are currently on furlough, being paid 80% of their average weekly hours, this cost being recouped via the job retention scheme.

Once again, our thanks for your support.

The club is now closed for the duration of the national lockdown, we hope this will be the originally planned 4 weeks and look forward to welcoming you back on the 2nd of December!

The club will be open from 1pm to 9pm on Bank Holiday Monday, with drinks and food served, including hand made pizzas, come along and have a few drinks and eat some great food at great prices!

Snooker play will restart from Saturday the 18th of July 2020, we will only have two tables in use initially to maintain social distancing rules.

only singles games may be played, players must book a table for 1 hour at a time, the table hard surfaces, balls, cues and rests are to be sanitised by the players going onto the table to play, cleaning materials will be provided at each table.

From Wednesday the 29th of July we will restart food services, you will need to book a table in advance and all food will be served in the Don Dring room. After this food will be available Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 6pm each day.

We are also looking at theme nights such as a steak night, a curry night and fresh hand made pizza.

Once the weather improves we will dust off the BBQ for regular Saturday afternoon burgers!

Make sure you book your table with Clive Heath before the 29th!
