Extension of Closure of All Clubhouses and Non-Race day Restaurants (issued Friday, 11 March)

We would like to inform Members the closure of all Clubhouses and the Non-Race day restaurants at Happy Valley Racecourse will be extended for another two weeks until Sunday, 27 March.

The pandemic threat continues to be very severe and since the Club’s last notice, the number of confirmed cases have increased exponentially and there remains significant uncertainties ahead. Our membership employees affected have also seen a rapid increase with 284 employees infected in the community and close to 500 employees unable to work as a result of the isolation requirements.

Whilst we deeply appreciate Members’ wish to see the recommencement of some services, the Club’s risk assessment is that doing so will bring about significant risks to the health and safety of our Members and employees under the current circumstances. It remains our intent to operate our dining venues once the situation stabilises and Members may be assured we will continue to assess the developments diligently. Members will note that the goodwill concession has been announced in our Chairman’s Letter (click) issued to Members earlier this week. We will further apprise Members on the details and delivery date of the spending vouchers in April’s edition of Badges.

We very much value and hope to count on Members’ continued support and understanding in overcoming this unprecedented public health crisis.

For enquiries, please write to us at membership@hkjc.org.hk or call 1812 (9am-6pm).
