COVID 19 Update - VACCINE PASSES REQUIRED

The traffic light system is upon us. With the safety of our members foremost in our mind we will be a double vaccinated facility/club until we go to the green system. Signage will be put up today.
 
The New Zealand Government has announced that the New Zealand COVID-19 Protection Framework will be in place from 11.59pm, 2 December.
As a result, We had a meeting with the Squash Committee on Wednesday night, unanimously decided that the Whanganui Tennis club and the  Whanganui Squash Rackets Club  will be implementing a vaccination policy in accordance with the New Zealand Government’s traffic light system.
 
This means the facility at 3 Bassett Street & the Whanganui Tennis Club, will be a COVID-19 vaccination certificate venue, from Friday 3 December. Only those people over the age of 12 years and 3 months who can provide written or digital evidence of them having a Covid-19 vaccination certificate, known as My Vaccine Pass, will be able to access the club, and facilities.

This policy will require all members, staff, visitors, and guests to provide evidence of their My Vaccine Pass on demand if they are over the age of 12 years and 3 months.

Please be ready to show us your vaccine pass on club days.
