On 10 June 2021, the Victorian Government made an announcement regarding the COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria being eased from midnight on Thursday 10th June 2021. This announcement affects our Club.

  • The Clubhouse remains closed to all members and visitors until further notice.
     
  • The following outdoor physical recreation and sport is permitted based on the conditions listed underneath:
    • Recreational fishing and boating
    • Non-competitive OTB sailing of single handed boats
    • Non-competitive two handed and trailable sailing with family members
    • Single handed kayaking.

Conditions on outdoor physical recreation and sport at the Club.

Under the new directions listed above, limited outdoor recreational boating is now permissible provided you:

  • Do not travel more than 25km from your home
  • Wear a mask indoors and outdoors
  • QR Code Register upon entry to the Club premises.
  • Maintain at least 1.5m apart from other people.
  • Have no more than 10 persons gathered together at one time.

Additional relevant information:

 

  • Access to the slipway, rigging deck and boat storage must be via the ramp gates, not through the Clubhouse building.
  • The changing rooms, showers or any other facilities within the Clubhouse cannot be used.
  • Arrive dressed for the activity and change at home (‘get in get out’).
  • Access will be at your own risk and must adhere to all Victorian Government restrictions relating to the coronavirus.
  • Working Bees will go ahead based on the restrictions above.
  • Security and facility checks will continue at the Clubhouse by a member of the CoM, and any essential building maintenance will be undertaken.

If you require urgent access to the Clubhouse, permission must be sought from the CoM.  To help you facilitate this, please liaise with either the Michael Virant (acting Rear Commodore) or myself (contact details below). 

Thank you for your cooperation during this period and stay safe and well.

Warm regards

Brian Fentiman, Commodore
