• You are asked to read the information found on the “COVID-19” page https://miltonbadmintonclub.org/covid-19-declaration-required-by-all-members-who-play-on-all-play-nights/.
• All members are instructed that if they have been in the club in the last two weeks and are exhibiting any symptoms even if they have not tested positive that they must not attend the club until the symptoms subside and 14 days from the original symptoms pass or they provide a letter showing they have tested negative.  Members will be instructed to contact the club executive to advise that they are symptomatic. We will in turn advise all members via flash email and the Town of Milton.
• We remain a doubles club.
• Face masks are not required during game play.
• Please do not come to the club if you are having any COVID-19-like symptoms.
• Other club rules remain in effect and can be found at https://miltonbadmintonclub.org/rules/
