COVID Update 26th October

26 Oct 2020

Dear Polo Community

 

Following today’s announcements POLO CLUBS in the Melbourne Metro area can begin playing NON-CONTACT (1.5m apart) practice chukkas from this Wednesday 28^th October.  This is the same as POLO CLUBS in regional Victoria can do now. The 25km radius rule still applies.

 

There is still a hard border between regional Victoria and Melbourne Metro which hopefully will come down from November 9^th so no travelling to play between Metro and Regional. There is still NO date for the introduction of CONTACT POLO.

 

All POLO CLUBs please ensure your covid officer has your covid plan in place and registers all people including grooms that come and go to practice chukkas. Please ensure the physical distancing is maintained, masks are worn when you are off the ponies and that you are on the polo grounds for as shorter time as practical.
