It is widely anticipated the COVID vaccination rate will reach 70% in NSW this week which will result in lifting stay-at-home orders for adults who have received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine from next Monday, 11 October.

Once that is announced, for those who members who are double dose vaccinated this will mean:

  • You may attend the club with no 5km restriction.

  • The clubhouse is subject to the 4sqm rule. This means there may be no more than 30 people inside the club at any time.

  • There may be no more than 9 people in the men’s changeroom, 3 people in the women’s changeroom and 2 people in the canteen.

  • It will be possible for up to 20 people to socialise on the deck.

  • 20 boats can be rigged at once in the park, and 20 boats can be in proximity on the water.

  • If there are 30 people in the club or 20 boats in the park, you need to wait your turn.

  • You must be able to show your proof of vaccination at all times.

For those who are NOT double dose vaccinated you may only attend the club if you live within 5km of the club and for the purpose of exercise only. Furthermore:

·       You may only enter the club to retrieve and return your boat.

·       You may not enter the club or rig your boat if that would result in more than two boats in the park.

Everyone is reminded: 

·       You must wear a mask inside the clubhouse.

·       You must check in using the Service NSW app.

·       Do not attend the club if you are (a) a close contact, (b) have symptoms, (c) are awaiting a test result.

·       As the club will not be officially open, we ask people to self-enforce these rules.

Please note, community sport will not be allowed until the vaccination rate reaches 80%. There will therefore be no organised racing until that time. An updated racing calendar will be published next week in anticipation of season commencement on (to be confirmed) on 30 October.

For those who are not fully vaccinated, the Government has announced that restrictions will be relaxed from 1 December. 

We can’t wait to be racing again and look forward to seeing you at the club soon.
