May we also remind you that guests are currently NOT permitted to visit the club
(i.e. ‘signed in’ by another member) and remains ‘Members Only’ until the next
review date, which will be Tuesday October 20th 2020
Our revised Saturday Night Entertainment Package has been warmly
received so far but obviously needs your support in order to continue.
Our socially distanced seating along with the performing artists singing
behind acoustic screens makes the club ‘as safe a haven’ as you could wish for.
The ‘six maximum’ rule has always been our policy, and we have religiously ‘tracked
and traced’ every member, so no changes needed there. Please check our
‘What’s On’ tab at the top of this page or head over to our Facebook Page (link at
the bottom of this page) to see our latest Saturday night offerings.
PLEASE NOTE ; ALL tables have to be pre-booked in order to attend a
Saturday night event in the Ray Stanley Room until further notice.
COVID-19 INFORMATION
We have obviously taken steps to protect our members of staff as well as our club members, but if we all follow
the guidelines we are confident that all restrictions will ease as the weeks go by….
A one-way system through the bar area will be in place, with members queuing at a safe distance to pay for their
food and drink at ‘Zone 1’ and collecting their purchase at the other end of the bar – ‘Zone 2’. Sitting or standing at
the bar is currently prohibited by Government Legislation. We are not operating table service.
You then find yourself a table in the bar area, Ray Stanley room or if we’re lucky enough to be enjoying some sunshine, in
the beer garden. We are currently limited to numbers allowed in the club, but we do not foresee a problem regarding this.
Automatic Hand Sanitizer Stations have been placed around the club, and we would strongly encourage all members to
use the one situated in the foyer upon entering and exiting the club. There are also automatic soap dispensers in all toilets
to reduce touch points. Doors, where possible, will also be left ajar for the same reason.
The table and seating layout throughout the club has been specifically placed to provide maximum social distancing
(1Metre +) and we would ask all members NOT to change or alter the seating plan (four to a table maximum unless
from a ‘two family’ bubble where six people may sit together (in the Ray Stanley Room only).
We will be keeping a Daily Member Register (our own ‘Track and Trace’) for the foreseeable future, we will fill this out for
you as you reach ‘Zone 1’ to order and pay. Please inform us of any other members that are with you that day. We will be accepting cash and card payments, but for obvious reasons contactless card payments are preferred.
Unfortunately, NO GUEST SIGN IN’S are permitted at present.
In the short term there will be no Crib or Cards games allowed, as well as no
Dominoes or Poker (the only exception will be e.g. two family members bringing in their own crib board
/ cards / dominoes who would obviously take them away with them when they leave the club).
Finally, for your safety and confidence, new cleaning procedures have been put in place using Health and Safety
Executive recommended cleaning and sanitising products, including an hourly spray, sanitise and wipe of all
High Contact / Touch Point zones, plus a ‘Clean Me/Use Me’ table notification to avoid cross contamination.
Be great to see you 😊

COVID-19 Managing the Risk when The Uckfield Club is Open and Trading
(Main Risk Assessment)
The following assessment looks at how the Uckfield Club will potentially manage the risk
of COVID-19 when they re-open. All government guidelines will be followed.
The controls will look at all scenarios and try to rank them in order of impact, ease of
implementation and cost….
PEOPLE EXPOSED
Colleagues Members / Guests Contractors Members of the Public
HAZARDS
Spreading COVID-19 amongst staff
By having no additional controls in place then the risks of someone bringing in the disease and spreading it further is possible.
Spreading COVID-19 to the wider public community
By having no controls in place this will allow COVID 19 to enter the premises and not be controlled to Employees but will spread
around the local community and possibly further. This uncontrolled hazard will potentially lead to civil and criminal investigation,
claims and prosecutions.
Increased violence and aggression
Our members are not necessarily used to be being told what to do in a pub environment. If restrictions are in place this may
cause issues.
CONTROL MEASURES
Excellent personal hygiene practices by all employees
All staff members wash their hands at the beginning, during and after shifts. They are actively encouraged to clean their hands
after every task completed. Contractors and visitors will be instructed to wash their hands-on entrance to the site Customers will
be reminded as well with clear sanitiser stations, visible and with posters and regular toilet checks.
Good personal hygiene practices should also be discussed for home life as well so that good personal hygiene is not just practiced
at work but at home too
Zoning of working environments
To prevent the risk of cross over and not maintaining social distance, where possible working areas will be zoned. Only allowed to go
into other areas after hand washing and only if totally required. working practices will have to change, think about 1 person in 1 zone
and training staff to stay in that zone and only come out for specific reasons.

Maintenance of social distancing (employees and customers)
Where possible for all employees and customers the 1m+ social distancing should be implemented where possible. It is
regarded by the WHO and the HSE that there may be necessity of some operations where this may not be possible and
social utility will be allowed as it is a benefit to the wider majority. All government guidance will be followed when this is
issued by the government. social distancing will mean a reduction in numbers of people within the site
Maintenance of existing property equipment (Glass washers / Dishwashers/ Hot water)
All glass washers, dishwashers and hot water to be maintained while the pubs are closed. All statutory inspections to continue.
If faults are discovered, then they are prioritized for repair.
Reviewing menu and number of covers and also times the kitchen is open
To maintain social distancing, it may be necessary to review the menu we offer, the number of covers and also specific
times the kitchen will be open to offer food
Reviewing the back bar
Where possible sites should ensure back bars are installed in such a way that this limits the crossover of any zones for
staff members. In newer sites this should be possible, but it is recognised that not all sites will be able to do this. However,
all reasonable efforts should be made to complete this task when re-opening
Seating layout
All seating that is able to be moved needs to be positioned in such a way that there is social distancing. It is not expected
to tell people where to sit or in what groups as social utility will be allowed in this circumstance (unless there is clear
government guidance on this). All movable tables and chairs will be socially distanced to the 1m Plus rule. For fixed seating
it may be worth closing off every other booth with signage and local enforcement. Both internal and external seating needs to
be considered
Hand sanitising stations
The Club now has numerous hand sanitising stations (some automatic) including the main entrance. This will have clear
posters and signage encouraging members to wash and sanitise their hands as they enter and leave the Club.
This is now a Government and ‘WHO’ recommendation.
Clear process for operators if they suspect an employee has COVID-19 and checking if
staff have symptoms
Clear policy and training on what to do if a member of staff has COVID-19, either suspected at work or they ring in
(i.e. Test and Trace). Although the Uckfield Club will be open we must not lose the fact that the disease is still within
the community The process also needs to cover in a customer friendly way, how the operator may deal with a member
of the public whom they suspect may have COVID-19.
Majority of payments to be taken by contactless method
This will naturally increase as the public are getting used to paying this way. Cash should not be refused but with clear
communication from staff at the point of entry we should be encouraging contactless or card payment only, Cash should
not be refused as this may affect the older or vulnerable categories but the employee MUST wash or sanitise their hands
after each transaction.

not be refused as this may affect the older or vulnerable categories but the employee MUST wash or sanitise their hands
after each transaction.
Training and changing ways of working
Clear staff training needs to be provided for all members on COVID-19 and how to sensibly manage the risks. All staff
need to have training on personal hygiene and as a Club we will need to amend working practices. 1 - Member pays for
drink / food at Pay Station (Zone 1). 2 – Pour / make the required drinks and place at the other end of the bar (Zone 2) for
member collection. 3 - Pouring the perfect pint and the positioning of the hands to prevent cross contamination is now
particularly important. Hold the glass at the bottom ONLY and never near the top of the glass. 4 - Food orders will be dealt
with in a similar manner, order at Zone 1, issue a order number and then the member collects at Collection Point (Zone 2)
4- Regular toilet checks to ensure tidy and soaps topped up. 5 – Hourly sanitiser spray and wipe of all contact areas
(Toilets / Doors / Handles / Fruit Machines / Common Areas etc)
Perspex barriers at the tills
To provide a physical barrier, bar service areas will have Perspex barriers, e.g. Till (Zone 1) & Collection Point (Zone 2).
This will give better protection to employees when they are most likely to be in contact with the Members.
Traffic flow and markings to maintain social distance
To help our Members maintain a social distance the Club will have a one-way system, shown by signage and black/yellow
tape to limit the numbers at the bar …. (NO ONE is to sit at the bar at any time and bar stools will be removed).
One member to step up to service till at a time. Drinks poured (possibly by second member of staff) and placed at the other
end of the bar (collection point). This will apply to food orders as well.
Hand wash facilities at the bar
The Club has two sinks for washing hands in the bar area, to allow staff to wash their hands. They need to be cleaned and
maintained with soap available. We have also installed a hand sanitiser unit at each end of the bar for Staff use only.
Please ensure that you use regularly.
Paper towels in toilets
There is some thought that air drying of hands is not the most hygienic way to deal with a disease like COVID-19. However,
the key control is still washing hands. We have removed the air dryer from the disabled toilets, and the use of disposable
paper towels is the preferred method of drying hands to reduce the risk of cross contamination.
Adequate supply of all chemicals
Supply chain to be checked to ensure anti- bacterial soap, D10 Ebac Spray and sanitiser wipes are available and all other
cleaning options are available
Guest Sign In
No Guests will be permitted to be ‘Signed In’ until further notice (i.e. Government Covid-19 Social Distance Rules are relaxed).
PPE considerations- Masks
When all other control measures have been exhausted and in specific sites where there is no other way of controlling the
risk, then PPE should be considered. In relation to face masks these should be of the surgical type and disposable
(i.e. used once). If the area they are to be worn in is not public facing (i.e. kitchen) then cloth masks (such as Bandannas)
could be considered. Unless there is clear government guidelines masks should only be considered as a genuine last resort.

could be considered. Unless there is clear government guidelines masks should only be considered as a genuine last resort.
PPE consideration - Gloves
When all other control measures have been exhausted and where there is no other way of controlling the risk, then PPE
should be considered. It needs to be clear that gloves DOES NOT replace the need for excellent personal hygiene and
the washing of hands as the best control measure against COVID-19. By wearing gloves gives false security. If gloves are
needed, then the following should be used ; 1 - In the kitchen blue powder free vinyl gloves. They are food safe and easily
detectable. 2 - For cleaning purposes then latex gloves should be used. They are stronger and more reliable.
Over hand washing
By more frequently hand washing you may be removing the healthy oils and also good bacteria that defends against disease.
A person may also suffer from hand dermatitis, due to over washing. It may be worth exploring barrier creams for the Club
but people who suffer from this will already be aware of the condition and manage it themselves.
Violence and aggression risk
If controls are required (such as social distancing) it is an unfortunate fact that the public do not necessarily like being told
what to do and the affect of alcohol differs from person to person, so the likelihood of violence and aggression increases.
Violent, disrespectful, or aggressive behaviour in these unprecedented times, particularly towards Staff Members, will not
be tolerated under any circumstances.
Fitness to work forms (only to be used if returning to work after recovering from Covid-19)
Fitness to work form to include signs of COVID-19. This new amended form to be completed before working again for the
first time and also make it a requirement to notify you if they or household member are displaying symptoms. It is more
important to ensure staff report symptoms, although checking temperature is an option if the employee allows. The operator
needs to be aware of any pre-existing conditions, anyone shielding in the family under medical grounds. It is important to
regularly check on your staff, verbally check daily and weekly record that your staff are fit to work.
Minimising touch points
The Uckfield Club will have an enhanced cleaning regime but consideration to be given to propping open doors that are
not required so this minimises the need to touch them in the 1st place. Internal fire doors DO NOT apply and must be kept
closed. As previously mentioned, hourly checks and sanitiser cleaning of ‘touch areas / common areas’ to be implemented.
Air Conditioning and Wall Fans
The use of the air conditioning system and wall fans is temporarily prohibited under current Government stipulations
to restrict the possible spread / re circulation of droplets and hence contamination of the immediate air space.
Member ‘Sign In’ Sheet / Daily ‘Track & Trace’ Register
The Staff Member on duty will be required to complete the daily sign in register on behalf of each member that
enters the club, entering the time, members name and their membership number. This will be placed at the payment
till (Zone 1) and is to be completed PRIOR TO PURCHASE. The time of the member leaving the club does NOT need
to be recorded.
