Garden Room Smoking Policy
Smoking is still permitted on the Foreshore Deck, the Upper Deck and the large designated areas of the Poolside.
List of Rules
- The larger section of the new terrace immediately in front of the Garden Room restaurant itself is enclosed on three sides and thus has been identified as a no-smoking area under Section 3 (2) of the Smoking (Public Health) Ordinance, Cap 371. Smoking therefore is not permitted in this area.
- The eastern portion of the new Terrace in front of the Children’s Playground does not fall under the provisions of the Smoking Ordinance.
- However the GC is mindful of the needs and preferences of those who do wish to smoke, so for a trial period of three months - members will be permitted to smoke within this section each day but only after 8:00pm at night.
- It is felt that by this time of evening, those members with young families will have already dined and departed the club and no longer be playing in the children’s playground.
