New update 21/9/21

It is with great disappointment that due to the current restrictions in place and the reduced time frames to organise the up coming events, we as a committee have decided to postpone the Mollymook event, for review in January with a possible February date. We have also decided to cancel the Thirroul event for the same reasons. We are fully aware of our supporters both participants and volunteers who would love to have these events held. At this stage the current health restrictions have reduced 80% of this committee to there own LGA with the allowance of 5km travel limit and whilst is is anticipated that restriction will come to an end in October at some point, there is no indication as to what if any restrictions will still continue or what requirements we as a Not for Profit Organisation will be required to comply with to hold an event.

As indicated this decision is made for the best interest of the participants, volunteers and the organisation, we are aware of the distances of individuals to attend these events and only wish to comply with the current health restrictions. We hope that you understand the restrictions that we are currently placed under and we look forward to having the freedoms to hold the events in the near future.

General update

So, the last year has seen the Covid 19 hit the organisation to the point where events were all cancelled. We would like to inform you that as an organisation we have not kept quiet, we have continued to work on equipment and setup of trailers, we have also continued to maintain connections with previous supporters to ensure on our return we are able to continue the community service that we and all, of our volunteers have provided over the last 30 Years.

We have Covid Protocols which will be displayed closer to the events depending on the Government restrictions in place at the time. As an organisation we are aware of the vulnerability of some of our participants and volunteers and at no stage do we as an organisation want to place any individual or the organisation at risk.

The South Coast Branch would like to thank to following supporters that have assisted at the various events that we have held.
