Greetings,
I hope this finds you all well and safe.
As the lockdown is now ramping up I think you would agree that it is more unlikely that we can manage the extra requirements for a covid safe event. It is with great disappointment that I concede that the virus has beaten us.
In June, the NSW Government was aiming to allow small music festivals to operate from August but there is no sign of this happening now. At the moment, we would fall under the Showground category which allows 1 person per 4 square metres but with a limit of 500 people per event (non seated). With an average of two people per car that would only allow 250 cars.
We are not able to use the hall at Brush Farm due restriction of numbers so rather than prolong the situation I think it is best if we cancel for 2020.
The most logical action going forward is to credit each club, what ever they have paid, against next year's event.
Lastly, Rob Allen, who as you may remember, was quite sick last year (he made the set up day but not the event) has had a serious heart attack but is now on the mend. I am sure you will join me in wishing Rob a speedy recovery.
Cheers
Greg Kean
