COVID-19 TRACKING APPS

LODGE MANAGERS
Geebung owes a duty to its managers and to all of our members and guests, to do everything we reasonably can, to keep them safe and healthy. The managers have the full authority of the committee on the day to day implementation of these rules. All members and guests are to, without complaint or debate, follow the directions of the lodge manager to the letter. The committee will support the lodge
manager’s decision, so there is no point appealing to the committee. The lodge manager has the committee’s authority to direct any member or guest to leave the lodge at any time for non-compliance with these rules or if they have any concerns as to the safety of themselves or other members.
USE OF LODGE IS AT EACH MEMBER’S AND GUEST’S OWN RISK
By these rules the Geebung Committee has tried to put in place the safest use of the lodges. That being said, there are obviously risks involved, and we cannot guarantee that someone does not get the virus from visiting the lodge. Each member and in-house guest will be using the lodge on the clear understanding that they recognise the risk and accept it. The club itself takes no responsibility for any adverse outcomes including any wasted accommodation fees and other costs that may be incurred if members and in-house guests, have to leave a lodge or if a lodge is closed at short notice.
