LUNCH AT CLUB HEATHCOTE

Club Heathcote has a contracting operator of the Bistro who opens the Bistro, especially to make lunch available for Probus members following their General Meetings.

We usually have some 20 members enjoying lunch, however, there were only 6 remaining after our last meeting.

The Bistro contractors would appreciate some prior knowledge of the approximate number of patrons to expect for obvious reasons.

I will ask Carolyn to send out an e-mail message a few days before each meeting requesting those intending to remain for lunch to respond to me with an e-mail or text message.  I will then be able to advise the Bistro operators.

I request your cooperation in this matter so that we can minimise operating costs and maintain a good working relationship with Club Heathcote.

Thanking you.

John Wood

President

  John has asked me to bring everybody up to date with this never-ending trip.

  Firstly, I must thank you all for paying your full payments directly into the bank or direct to our Probus account. I still have one or two more to come.

  Now for the important piece of information:   IF THE HOLIDAY IS CANCELLED BECAUSE OF COVID-19 YOU WILL RECEIVE A FULL REFUND.

  But if you have to cancel for personal reasons eg: a sick partner the conditions alter:  

  PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:

  DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE WITHIN 40 DAYS OF DEPARTURE.

  CANCELLATIONS:  The balance is partly refundable until the time & date of the departure. 

  In addition to the loss of the deposit of $100 per person the following fee applies & will be deducted from the balance 30 to 15 days prior to departure there is a cancellation fee $200 per person.

  14 days prior to departure there is a cancellation fee of %50 of the balance plus loss of deposit.

SPECIAL EVENTS                         

Thursday 16^th December 2021 –Luncheon – Club Engadine RSL at 12noon (booking has been confirmed and a $200 deposit has been paid.

No discussion with either Club Engadine or Mikes Grill has occurred due to the uncertainty with covid lockdown. Without knowing when Clubs will commence operation and what restrictions apply after they open – e.g., only vaccinated members can attend and impact if 1 person per 2 or 4 square metre rules applies. Based on questions asked during the planning of the cancelled 30 Anniversary function, if the 1 person per 4 square metre rule applies then the room will be restricted to 60 members.

No entertainment has been organised and with the uncertainty I suspect if the lunch goes ahead, we will have background music piped through the Club’s speaker system.

It is hoped that sometime during October the Government issues guidelines to Clubs on how they will operate.

The Committee discussed at its meeting last week at what point do we seek expressions of interest from Members wishing to attend the luncheon, and it was agreed to leave it to the October Committee Meeting when the Committee will receive an update following an attempt to speak with Club Engadine RSL and Mikes Grill representatives.
