COVID-19 Booking The Cottage

PAID UP CURRENT CLUB MEMBERS ONLY!!

NOTE that booking system has been simplified slightly, There will no longer be a draw, just ad-hoc bookings which MUST be made at least a week before your stay.

Note that currently (Covid Level 0) the cottage may accomodate MAX 8 people from 3 Households. (inter-household room sharing still not permitted)

Please DONT BOOK unless and until you are certain that you can attend. Booking and then cancelling just creates more work for your fellow club members!

Covid Restrictions

Please be aware that if you live outwith Stirling, and your local Authority gets placed in Covid Level 3, then you will forfeit any spaces booked, and will not be able to book spaces.

Please also note that if Stirling LA gets placed in Level 3 then the cottage will only be able to open to those within Stirling LA, and those outwith will forfeit any places as well as not be able to book future places. The cottage will also revert to single household groups, so some Stirling folks may also loose their spaces.

The Good News: The Cottage is re-opening to members only.

The Bad News: There are significant restrictions, as per government guidelines, and because the club has a duty of care towards members and must do what it can to keep folks safe from COVID-19 during their stay at the cottage.
