Important Information on the\nCoronaVirus COVID19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elwood Sailing Club is following the advice provided by\nhealth authorities for individuals and establishments like our own: our\npriority is the health of members and staff. \nAs the advice from authorities is updated our actions will change and we\nask that members similarly remain aware of, and follow public health\nrecommendations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes to Racing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Club is not\ncontinuing with formal racing for the rest of this season<\/strong>, however will put\non social race events when there are sufficient volunteers and participants to\ndo so with safety. This action responds to the concerns of some members about\nneeding to attend for race duties, particularly people who are in a higher risk\ncategory, and will allow a more flexible approach as this situation unfolds by putting\non social\/fun races according to the situation at the time. At this time, it is\nuncertain whether Presentation Night will happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members who are presently rostered on for race duties will\nbe asked whether they wish to continue to go on rescue boats during the social\nraces, however there will be no loss of storage points for non-attendance, and\nattendance will be completely voluntary. This will be done on a week-to-week\nbasis and will be completely flexible as there may be sailors but no\nvolunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are continuing with social racing when possible as we\nconsider it is important to offer this healthy, outdoor sporting activity for\nour members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Member and Staff\nActions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ask that all\nmembers, their guests and staff act carefully and responsibly and follow\nup-to-date public guidelines to reduce the likelihood of transference of the\nvirus<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
