<p>Hi all,<br dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
Long time, no see!<br dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
I'm pleased to announce that the University Computer Club is now
ready to welcome all members back into the clubroom from <a
dir="auto">today</a> (<a dir="auto">2020-07-24</a>). Thanks to
the efforts of those who volunteered to who help tidy and
rearrange the clubroom to comply with COVID-19 guidelines, we're
finally ready to have you back! <br dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
A responsible Door member will need to be present to hold the room
open for you, as always, but we have made a few changes to our
usual clubroom set up to ensure we can offer you a safe space to
learn and relax. <br dir="auto">
</p>
<h2>New Clubroom Rules<br dir="auto">
</h2>
<p>As the clubroom is reopening under the WA Government's Phase 4
requirements, we have some extra obligations to uphold. Door
members have been made aware of the rules already, and will be in
charge of making sure things run smoothly. Right now, the
following rules apply to the clubroom:<br dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
If you're sick (especially with a cough or fever), stay home. <br
dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
There is a strict limit of 11 members in the clubroom at a time.
This one is not negotiable, and Door members will be keeping a
close eye on room occupancy to make sure it's complied with. This
limit may be lifted from Phase 5. <br dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
Only sit in designated spots. We've been around the room marking
the desks, chairs and computers with green and red tape, showing
where you can and can't sit, respectively.<br dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
Eating is only permitted on the couches. We request no more than 2
people sit on the large couch at any time, and for the small
couch, no more than 1. Physical distancing measures also apply. <br
dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
Individual users are responsible for cleaning their own keyboards
and mice before and after use. To make sure this happens,
peripherals have been put off to the side on a shelf, and should
be placed back there once you've done. If you have any questions,
don't hesitate to ask the Door member holding the room.<br
dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
We'll be cleaning all surfaces frequently with cleaning sprays,
wipes, and isopropyl alcohol. Members are encouraged to use the
sanitizer by the door when they enter and exit the room.<br
dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
No cash! Unfortunately, our venerable wall safe is going to have
to sit empty for the time being. We'll have the Square card reader
available to use for you to put money on your Dispense account.
Ask a Door member and they'll be happy to help.<br dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
All Door members who open the room will have completed the AHA
COVID-19 Hygiene Training course.<br dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
In light of physical distancing requirements, we have set up a
temporary suite of dual monitors along the west side of the room.<br
dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
I'll be in this morning to supervise the first day of reopening,
and I hope to see some of you around.<br dir="auto">
<br dir="auto">
Cheers,<br dir="auto">
