Good morning, 

UCC is currently looking at membership renewals for the year compared to
last year, and we have noticed our club has already been significantly
impacted by COVID19 in terms of club revenue. 

After UCC's AGM (which was held on March 13, just prior to lockdown), we
have had a significant loss in new memberships and renewals compared to
the same period in 2019. Although we have included in two emails to our
members that membership renewals are now months overdue, we are
concerned that people are choosing not to renew due to the fact they are
unable to access the assets of the club.  

The clubroom holds all of the equipment that the club has invested in
and built over the past forty years, and access to the desktops there
(which host unique software and operating systems unavailable on library
computers) is a major draw card for memberships. 

We are writing to ask whether we can re-open the clubroom (adhering to
necessary social distancing measures!) as soon as possible, as we need
to start locking accounts that have not renewed for 2020. The process of
membership renewals will likely be severely hindered if clubroom access
is still unavailable when that email goes out. 

We understand all clubs have been affected; however our revenue is
incredibly important in maintaining and upgrading our equipment, and
membership uptake is largely based on the access to this equipment.  

If you could please let us know what the current status is for clubroom
access in Cameron Hall, that will really help us work out what
information to include in our next email we send to our members.  

Kind Regards,
