Scheduled Power Shutdown at the VSC

Members are advised that two planned general power shutdowns will take place at the Victory Services Club on Monday, 12th January and Monday, 19th January, between 11:00-13:00.

These temporary shutdowns are required to allow essential electrical maintenance to be carried out. Full details of the affected areas and impacts are outlined below so members can plan accordingly.

Please note that the VSC Grill restaurant will also be closed for lunch on Monday, 19th January 2026.

Why is this Shutdown necessary?

From time to time, a complete power interruption is required to allow qualified technicians to safely inspect, test, and maintain key electrical systems. This work cannot be carried out while systems remain live.

These shutdowns form part of our ongoing commitment to keeping the Club safe, reliable, and well maintained. Proactive maintenance helps prevent unexpected outages, supports compliance with safety standards, and protects our facilities for the long term.

We understand that power interruptions can be inconvenient and sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding. Every effort will be made to complete the works efficiently and restore power as quickly as possible. If you have any questions or require further information, please contact the Club management.

Thank you for your continued support of the Club.
