We have been looking into the issue of smoking in the lodge. Currently the only area that smokers can use, other than going outside, is the ski room and or porch area. Following research into this issue and recommendations made by our insurers committee has formally endorsed the lodge to become a smoke free establishment.
This change will be effective from 1 September 2010 and means that smoking can no longer take place in the ski room and porch area. Suitable receptacles will be provided for cigarette butts which must be cleared at the end of each week and weekend that the lodge is in use. New signage will shortly be installed in the lodge and the lodge trip leader manuals have been updated to reflect the new status.
