Posting on its Facebook page, the organisation wrote: “Due to a confirmed case of Covid 19 from a member of our staff, we have been advised that we need to close the club this upcoming weekend.

"As advised, only their close or direct contacts need to be contacted by track and trace, therefore this does not apply to the majority of our customers at this present time.
