Hi to all,

Our precautions in 2021 have kept us safe and member compliance has made it easier for our organisers and much appreciated by all concerned. In 2022 our efforts need to continue more vigilant than ever as Covid cases increase exponentially. Omicron may be less damaging but the dreaded Delta virus is still there. You all know the drill by now.

Our Sunday 16^th BBQ  Motorcycles & American vehicles is to proceed with some minor safety requirements.

1.  By Friday if possible - book in by website, phone or text to assist with catering numbers. Shopping at butchers and supermarket is done Saturday morning. Ross usually does this but is unwell, so I will do it and tow the bbq trailer. We need a local volunteer or two to assist in future, to ease the load on committee members. Please contact me (0409 860 001) if you can assist.
2. Setting up the BBQs and cooking - from 7 am - please advise if you can help.
3. QR code is required for contact tracing in case of a notified infection.
4. Bring your own usual seating & food utensils. Motorcyclists can have egg & bacon rolls if they like to avoid carrying too much.
5. Covid care with food handling –  some reductions may be needed – usual bacon, sausages, eggs, onions etc are ok. Gloves & masks will be available for chefs but food items that require handling like sliced bread, sliced watermelon will not be available. Bread rolls will be available.
6.  Usual precautions are advisable even though we are outdoors.
7. Club logo coffee mugs will be available @ $5.
8. Weather looks ok at present but cancellation deadline is 7pm Saturday so please check website Stop Press.

All planned events are scheduled to continue and the committee will monitor changes to adjust as thought appropriate and guided by govt regulations although they are now putting pressure on individuals to make their own choices.

Hopefully all will stay healthy and enjoy the club activities with all care taken.

Regards and happy motoring,
President Kerry Benson
