HOT WEATHER PROVISIONS FOR LORD'S ON TUESDAY 19TH JULY
With the Met Office forecasting that temperatures will soar this week, with a severe hot weather warning in place for London on Tuesday, we have been in liaison with MCC ahead of our next LV= Insurance County Championship encounter, to put in place some special hot weather provisions to ensure the health and safety of all in attendance.
On day one of our four-day clash with Sussex, attendees at Lord's should be aware of the following information:
- MCC has advised us that the dress regulations in
the Pavilion will be relaxed on Tuesday
19 July. Gentlemen in the Pavilion that day will not be
required to wear a jacket, although MCC will still require Gentlemen to wear ties. Spectators should also adhere
to the usual dress regulations on trousers and shoes. Please see these dress
regulations on the our FAQ
page for further details.
- We are looking to reschedule the mid-season members' forum, due to be held after close of play on Tuesday in the Middlesex Room. Should members have any questions they wish to urgently raise with Board Directors, then they will still be available in the Middlesex Room at the end of the day's play. We will advise members of a rearranged date for the forum in due course.
- For any ladies attending the fixture on Tuesday, the scheduled ladies' social coffee event will still be taking place in the Middlesex Room from 10.30am. The Club will also be arranging another similar event in September to ensure that those deciding not to travel will still be able to enjoy the event. Details of this additional event will be published when finalised.
- Because of the extreme temperatures, we advise all spectators to bring a bottle of water with them, to remain hydrated at all times. There are refill points around the ground, where you can replenish your water with fresh chilled water at any time. We would also recommend that spectators bring suitable headwear with them, look to spend time in the shade as much as possible, and wear sunscreen at all times.
We will update members more in our 'Coming to the Match' members' email on Monday 18th July.
