Sparkling clean

Given recent events, it’s important now, more than ever before, that we’re all doing our bit to help us keep our clubs beautiful, safe and sparkling clean. All Fernwood staff have completed the Australian Department of Health Infection Control – COVID-19 online training, and we will have rostered cleaners on site throughout the day to keep the club sanitised at all times.
