be appearing on Thursday November 5th at The Bullfrog Blues Club at The
Dockyard Club, Onslow Rd, Southsea, PO5 2NH.
We will be opening the doors at 7 p.m, and the first set will start at 8
p.m. We MUST finish by 10 p.m, but by bringing the times forward an hour
you still get a full evenings great music!!!

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
The club is operating under restrictions and rules -as a result, there will
be certain things we need to do. Your safety, and the safety of the
musicians and staff MUST be paramount. Everything went like clockwork at
our October Bullfrog - our first gig since the pandemic started.
*There will be a one-way system in place for entry and exit to the club.
*Tables and chairs will be set out in an appropriate manner to allow for
social distancing.
*The bar in the hall will be opened for drinks - no-one will be able to
enter the member's bar.
*Name and contact numbers of everybody who enters will be taken for the
purpose of "track and trace". and will kept on record by The Dockyard Club
for 21 days.
*You'll be required to have your temperature scanned on entry and anybody
showing a high reading will not be allowed in. (The Dockyard Club have been
doing this since they re-opened and as of yet have not had to refuse anyone
entry)
*The Dockyard Club will have their own doorman on the entrance to for the
purpose of names and temperature checks as well as explaining to everybody
the one-way systems.
*Nick, the Dockyard Club bar manager, will work closely with Bullfrog staff
to ensure all safety matters are adhered too.
