Hey all.
Has there been any discussion or thought anywhere about the possibility of the club reopening any time soon?

Yes, there has. The plan is to start again in September.
The Scouts are Ok with this (indeed would have been happier to let us in earlier), and are not putting and special requirements on us. We left it longer so that people got used to going out a bit more before we got everyone back together in person and to see how other establishments ran things.
We will probably have to set down a set of rules/a risk assessment of some kind somewhere but first Monday in September is the planned reopening.

Sweet.
I was going to ask whether there will be any sensible restrictions in place.
I’m doubled-vaxxed, however am also in a higher risk category. So I very much want to get back to in-person gaming, but want to be comfortable doing so.

I dont think you are the only one in that category, so I guess what did you have in mind as making you comfortable?
I think we had discussed a fixed group for the evening, spacing of the tables etc but had got much beyond that in terms of considering what to settle on. I think we were discussing facecoverings away from the table when games interrupted us that evening - oh yes doors and windows all open.
PLus I think hand sanitiser would be a good idea.
I think everyone is doubled jabbed.

You covered the main things - limiting numbers, spacing between tables, face coverings, doors and windows, hand sanitiser (which I would bring for myself anyway) - but the one thing you didn’t mention that I have become much less comfortable about is people eating stuff like sweets and snacks that mean putting hand and fingers to mouth without then cleaning them before handling components.

Interesting point - easy enough to have a 'if you leave the table sanitise before you come back' rule and link it to a do not 'eat and drink at your table rule'. POssibly allow drinking from bottles but maybe once people are used to being back inthe room for a week or two

Hokey dokey. Who's going to come on Monday the 6th of September? Need to know by Friday (3rd) if we're getting enough numbers to be worth opening. If not we'll stay virtual until we get enough peeps to go for it.

I would need to see the rules and guidelines in full before I commit to coming.
But I am keen to resume in-person gaming.

Im writing my recommendations to Chris, Dan and Dave at the moment (sorry work rather got busy and distracted me). They should publish them here and on the Discord channel once they settle on them (I am away in Scotland shortly). I suspect from the numbers commenting in the last couple of weeks that the 5th is currently unlikely to have in person gaming.
I just realised we need to think about money handling.....

Looks like we've got enough people for it to be worth a try. Just waiting for Dave to post a summary of the rules we're going to try.

Re money handling it doesn't bother me but I will say that I can't even remember the last time I used cash. It's the 21st century after all and cash is dead. Most people probably have PayPal or something right? I'm sure we could come up with a digital solution.

I'll post at 4pm if we're on or off for tonight. Please check here or discord before making your way to the Scout hut.

Okay sorry people but in true Wargaming style we failed to decide on the exact rules set to use in time for tonight. We shall try again next Monday when hopefully we'll have more potential attendees and we'll have decided on the rules. In other words we're still virtual tonight.

While Im sure the players have a digital solution, I suspect given the issues we had at my rugby club, getting a digital system for an unincorporated associations banking may be a tad more complex than we might expect. We fall in a hole banks dont like even after the pandemic experience

Right, as we have a couple of days here are our prototype rules. Myself, Dan and Chris (Hat) have discussed these and we think they'll work. However, as we have a couple of days before we need to enact them, we've got a bit of time for discussion.: docs.google.com/document/d/11GAR5T-2Xn-RwH-mFcHyhYPd6UqteTe6EtpR1nJTiuY/edit?usp=sharingThe main point of contention between the three of us was the mandatory vaccine rule. So please share your thoughts.
