Just wanted to provide a note to all members in relation to coronavirus and its effect on the club.
Firstly, club meetings will not be cancelled unless governments impose a restriction on non essential gatherings of groups of our size (20-30 people). I will keep an eye on this and advise before next meeting if this is necessary as things evolve.
If you are "at risk", I ask that you do not attend any trips or meetings or club events for the time being as a precaution to yourself and other members. "At risk" people are as per the governments advice, but basically:
- Anyone who has been in contact with someone thought to have the virus (confirmed or awaiting testing)
- Anyone who has travelled overseas in the past 14 days
- Anyone who may have a compromised immune system or is at risk of being hospitalised from the virus (over 70, prior medical conditions etc), or is caring for, or living with someone at risk
Secondly, I know that there has been incredible strain on a lot of vital services recently, as a great club of people that are always ready to lend a hand and the combined resources available at our disposal, if anyone needs a hand, or knows someone in the community who does, please get in touch either here or with me directly and let us know how we can help.
There are a lot of people here with freezers full of meat and other products that they have access to, which may be valuable to others at this time.
