The Briar Club Reopening Plan: Phase 2 by The Briar Club

REOPEN PLAN: PHASE 2

These rules are in place for the safety and benefit of all members and staff. The goal is to open the facility gradually as we minimize the risk of further exposure or closures due to COVID-19. We are confident that we can expand if we all adhere to the temporary policy restructure.
