Dear Member,
This has been an unprecedented year in The Royal Scots Club’s proud history; the COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all in so many ways.
In my role as Chairman of the Club I am writing to ask for voluntary contributions to the RSC Staff Christmas Fund which recognises the professional and outstanding service we have all received during the past year. Donations are also welcome to the Royal Scots Club War Memorial Fund.
The Club staff have provided exemplary service for the larger part of 2020, either side of the lockdown period 20 March – 13 July. Since re-opening they have gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure that, whilst maintaining a limited service within the Scottish Government guidelines, our safety has been assured. With the unavoidable reductions in manpower caused by Covid-19 those staff who remain are not just doing their normal job, they are multi-tasking to keep the Club running.
I would also like to highlight the amount of hard work that continued during the lockdown period to ensure the Club could re-open and to ensure that the myriad of rules, regulations and assistance schemes put in place were properly understood and implemented. All the while, ensuring that contingency plans were made to protect the future of the Club. Nearly all the work needed was completed and coordinated remotely.
I hope that you share my sentiments and are able to give generously to the staff who have kept our Club safe and operating under very challenging circumstances.
If you wish you can also donate to the Royal Scots Club War Memorial Fund. First initiated in 1919, by Lord Henry Scott, the Fund is used today to enhance the Club’s facilities and to maintain the building. Since the start of the pandemic the Fund has been depleted but it has helped to ensure that the Club remains open.
My grateful thanks to you all,
Colonel Clinton Hicks
