Our first two weeks open under the Alert Level 2 operating rules have
gone very well. We have enjoyed seeing the return of many friendly faces
and the ability to offer our loyal members the opportunity to dine and
drink at the Club once more.

the Club and that under the current regulations, you must be seated and

64 years!
ALERT LEVEL 2 Last week we celebrated 64 years of the Hornby Club. It has changed a
lot over the past 64 years, but one thing firmly remains the same: The
commitment and loyalty of our members, the Hornby community, and our
staff. We will celebrate 65 years next year, and we hope it will be under
very different circumstances! Thank you.
We are still limited to 100 people at one time and
please remember under the current regulations, you
must be seated and served at your table. From 12 noon,
Friday 29 May, tables will no longer be restricted to
10 people to a table.
