<p>Hi Door members,</p>
<p>Long time, no see! (For most of you, at least.)</p>
<p>I'm pleased to announce that under the new Guild rules that came
into effect today 20 July, we are now permitted to have people
back in the room! Committee (& helpers) are currently
finalising the room layout and making sure we comply with all the
requirements, but we're aiming to open later this week. Keep your
eyes peeled for an ucc-announce@ email once we're ready to publish
the details.</p>
<h2>New Clubroom Rules</h2>
<p>As part of our opening under Government & Guild Phase 4
rules, we've got some extra obligations to uphold as the people
responsible for the club space. These include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Making sure people stay away from the club if they are sick,
especially with a cough.</li>
<li>Maintaining the strict occupancy limit as posted on our Covid
Safety Plan (currently 11). This is a non-negotiable part of
reopening under Phase 4. To ensure social distancing, there will
also be only 6 desktops open for use. As part of your role as
the responsible Door member, you'll need to make sure they get
used according to the usage guidelines, and be proactive in
ensuring they get shared fairly.<br>
</li>
<li>Ensuring frequent cleaning of common surfaces. We are
providing plenty of sanitiser, isopropyl alcohol, cleaning
sprays and wipes. You're not expected to do all the cleaning,
but you need to make sure it gets done. In particular, we've
detached all the keyboards and mice and put them on the shelves
near the entrance. Individual users will be responsible for
taking them out and putting them back, and cleaning them both
before and after use with isopropyl alcohol. After someone has
packed up and left, please make sure the desk gets wiped down
too.<br>
</li>
<li>One final thing: unfortunately, for the time being, we won't
be taking cash for Dispense credit. I'll be making sure the
Square reader is up and running, and I'll include an explanation
of how to use it in the Door induction.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Covid Training</h2>
<p>As part of our prepared Covid Safety Plan, we have committed to
having at least one COVID-19 Hygiene Course-certified member in
the room at all times. <i><b>That means if you want to hold the
room, you'll need to have completed the course.</b></i><br>
</p>
<p>You can find a link to it here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://hospitalityhygiene.com/aha-covid-19-hospitality-tourism-hygiene-course/">https://hospitalityhygiene.com/aha-covid-19-hospitality-tourism-hygiene-course/</a>.
It's free and should only take about half an hour (on-and-off) to
complete. Once you've passed and have received the certificate,
please send a copy to this list so we have it on file.<br>
</p>
<h2>Door (Re-)Inductions<br>
</h2>
<p>For some of you who were just added to Door before the closure,
you never had the chance to get walked through the ins & outs
of holding the room. For the rest of you, it's been long enough
I'll forgive you for forgetting the lockbox code! I'll be running
an online Door induction/meeting session on Thursday from 5:30pm:
new Door members strongly encouraged to attend, all welcome.
Access it here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

I'll also record it for those of you who can't make the time.</p>
<p>Hope to see you all around, and I wish everyone all the best for
semester 2.<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
