High House Update
Email to members - 3 September
The re-opening of High House to pre-booked members has gone well – 42 members, family and guests have had the pleasure so far and the hut is sparkling clean!
We have given existing external weekend bookings the option of keeping the booking if they can do it within the government guidelines and some have taken up the offer but many have cancelled and there are therefore some more weekends available for members.
The hut is available for long weekend bookings (5pm Thursday to 5pm Monday) on the following weekends
1-5 October
15-19 October
5-9 November
We will review future months as we get more information and if regulations change.
The hut will be completely closed for at least 72 hours between bookings (from 5pm on Monday to 5pm on Thursday). If we didn’t follow this guidance, we would need to arrange for someone to go and fully clean the hut between each occupancy. Unfortunately members cannot go to the hut without a booking at the moment.
Bookings will be taken as one group booking for up two households who agree to share High House and maintain social distance from each other and agree to adhere to the rules for the use of High House. As per government guidance support bubbles count as one household. If this guidance changes in future we may be able to allow larger groups.
If you would like to book one of these weekends at High House please email Hugh Taylor - jhugh.taylor@btinternet.com with the following information by noon on Friday 11 September:
- Name of lead booker plus an indication of others who will be in your group
