The following updated Covid-19 guidelines have been issued by the Centrepoint Board:

• No more than 15 members are allowed at Centrepoint premises at any one time. Not included in this number are the front desk volunteers. 

• If there are two or more activities held at the same time, the respective organisers should coordinate attendance between them 

• We ask that members leave Centrepoint promptly at the end of their activity to allow others to use the premises 

• Please open the windows on a regular basis for at least 5 to 10 minutes 

• Face masks must be worn at all times. They may be removed while eating or drinking. Please note also that eating and drinking is only allowed while seated

• All members are requested to follow the general hygiene guidelines issued by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH/BAG) and the Canton of Basel-Stadt

Further to the additional COVID-19 regulations issued by the canton of Basel-Stadt to take effect from the 23rd November, Centrepoint has regrettably taken the decision to CANCEL the Friday Coffee Mornings on:

• 27th November

It is hoped that the coffee morning on the 18th December will take place.

This is a members only event and places are limited.  

Please refer to the Weekly Briefing of November 6, for our COVID guidelines.

Further to the new COVID-19 guidelines issued by the Swiss Federal Government on 18th October and the continued rise in COVID cases, Centrepoint has regrettably taken the decision to CANCEL the Members Apéro on 19th November and the Vernissage: Artwall Paper Market on 27th November.

This decision is guided by the knowledge that the risk of COVID-19 increases as people mingle, walk around and socialise. Further guidelines for members and guests at Centrepoint will be issued in due course.

We hope to resume the Apéro in December.

Thank you for your understanding. Our aim is to keep our members as safe as possible.

• 30th October
• 6th November

This decision is guided by the knowledge that the risk of COVID-19 increases as people mingle, walk around and socialise. Further guidelines for members and guests at Centrepoint will be issued in due course.

We will assess the situation in early November and hope to resume coffee mornings on Friday 13th November.

Thank you for your understanding. Our aim is to keep our members as safe as possible.
