Angling Competition
October 10, 2020 @ 12:00 am - October 11, 2020 @ 5:30 pm
The Third Step of Victoria’s roadmap for reopening allows outdoor non-contact sport, with outdoor gathering and density limits for up to 10 people. COVIDSafe Principles still apply and the clubroom and bar will remain closed. The fishing competitions will all be about the fishing 🎣, so if you choose to participate, the club expects the following:
| · Wear a face mask (e.g. at weigh-in, around the clubroom, and during launch/retrieve activities) | · Physical distancing (1.5 metres) |
| · Good hand hygiene | · Do not participate if you are unwell |
With the restrictions on the size of public gatherings, currently limited to 10 people outdoors, participants are asked to weigh their fish and then leave the premises. Where a participant does not follow the COVIDSafe Principles, their conduct will be considered prejudicial to the angling club, and, they will not be eligible to compete.
The competition rules are available on our website and participants should make themselves familiar with the requirements concerning eligible fish and the fishing area boundaries.
This year, the Weigh-in Masters, Norm Trickey and Gerry Gibb, will coordinate weigh-in between 4:30 and 5:30 pm on each day of the competition weekends. Steve Bland will continue with the role of Club Captain and will manage any anomalies as required. Remember that each eligible fish must be weighed-in by the person who caught the fish, and if you a fishing with others, please make sure that you can identify your catch (e.g. by clipping or snipping the tail or a fin).
