At Weekend Night Dances:
• Masks are no longer required regardless of vaccination status but strongly recommended.
• No table saving. People may bring their own snacks.
• People must be out of the Clubhouse no later than 10 p.m. to permit adequate time for the custodian to tear down and arrange the setup for the following day (except New Year’s Eve).
• No announcements are permitted from the stage.
• Clubhouse lighting and audio- visual equipment can only be adjusted by the custodians according to the instructions they have been given.
• People are encouraged to sign in, either as a resident or guest so the GRF can judge the popularity of bands.
