Covid 19 Update ESC
Dear Members,
Due to reimposition of COVID19 Stage 3 restrictions the Club has been closed and key fobs have been turned off. If you wish to remove your boat or other equipment from the club please contact our manager Amanda to arrange the time when your key fob will be turned on (03 9531 4743 manager@elwoodsc.com).

With the recent easing of some Government restrictions the Club is hoping to provide more access to the boat storage area, the ground floor change rooms, and the first floor club room and deck areas. We will announce the changes when we have approval from the Council. In the meantime we all must continue to follow the existing rules on access. Please remember that following the recent increase in COVID19 cases the police have again been empowered to issue on-the-spot fines for non-compliance to individuals and organisations.
GOOD NEWS WE ARE ON THE WAY BACK
From Monday 1st June
Reopening for Recreational Sailing and Boat Maintenance
Following relaxation of the COVID rules concerning gatherings and sports the club will reopen for recreational sailing and boat maintenance on Monday June 1.
The following requirements when attending the club are intended to be in line with the Victorian Government COVID19 community health regulations and advice as they apply to boating and sailing, and the Australian Sailing guidelines. The specific plan for ESC has been approved by the City of Port Philip Council and must be complied with.

Monday’s announcement from the Victorian Government clearly now permits recreational boating, subject to maintaining at all times the social distancing rules of 1.5m separation (apart from family members you live with), and with no more than 10 people in a group (outside). Club facilities must remain closed, except toilets. For the time being ESC club house including the ground floor will remain closed, in line with the direction on use of facilities, and to protect member and staff health. We expect to receive further guidance from Australian Sailing, and will advise if there are any changes. Hopefully there will be further easing of the restrictions at the end of May.
