Thanks Elizabeth, there have been lots of events getting cancelled of late, no certainties of anything going ahead. We are just waiting and watching them fall by the wayside one by one, so not engaging in any real preparations at the moment. Phil was just advised yesterday that the rescheduled Narooma event has been cancelled due to health NSW directions and we expect that other events being held in NSW will likely suffer the same fate (probably including the Brookvale event, but waiting advice from them). Unless things improve in Victoria and the borders reopen, I think the NCR could easily go the same way - but we will wait and see.
Once we know what is happening then we will advise everyone and if they actually do go ahead will put out a call for volunteers then - fingers crossed!

Hi Matt,
Les (VK1LH) and I (VK1FELF) can probably provide assistance for both.
Cheers

Good evening all, we have just been advised that the 2020 Fitz's Challenge has unfortunately had to be cancelled.
This leaves the traditionally busy end of the year looking decidedly quiet - at the moment the only events we have on the calendar needing support are the Brookvale Horse Endurance ride on October 11th and the rescheduled National Capital Rally on November 28th / 29th (yes planned to be a full 2 day event again).
Given the ever varying impact that COVID19 is having on travel restrictions and society in general, we don't know for sure if either of these will definitely go ahead or not, but we are of course hopeful that they will - I think everyone is keen to get on with life as we once knew it! Assuming both events do occur, we will need about a dozen people for the Brookvale event and the NCR event will need lots of WICEN operators to support it. So please pencil the dates in to your calendar for both events so that we can properly support them.
