It has been stop ‘n’ start season for clubs who have had to adopt a bits and pieces approach through the Covid-19 restrictions. They have been opening a few facilities within, in accordance with guidelines on and off. During certain phases of the restrictions, they had been completely shut.

These social destinations, with their coveted membership, have been asking members for voluntary contributions to help with expenses during the pandemic. In April this year, The Bombay Presidency Radio Club at Colaba, said in an appeal, “even with mounting expenses and revenue reduction, the club has not compromised on the upkeep and maintenance. The club is still not out of the woods and expenses are mounting with very little revenue being generated.”
