Updated GRC COVID Rules - Singles from Monday 16 August

We are keen  to get members back down to the club and out on the water.  We are going ahead with opening the shed on Monday for single sculling only.  This plan is, of course, subject to amendment at any time.

Here are the compulsory boating procedures. These are based on making sure people rowing comply with current NSW Health rules. For any questions please contact Nick or Fran.

  1. Single sculling:
    1. Booking:
      1. Time slots must be booked on-line (including privately owned boats).  Spaced by 30 minutes to allow entry/exit
      2. Row in Daylight hours only
      3. Two singles at a time allowed - i.e. one per bay
    2. Entering:
      1. Must park on the street (school grounds off limits)
      2. Must scan the QR code
      3. Must wear mask until on the water
      4. Max two people max in the shed at anytime
    3. Launching:
      1. Ready your boat from the front of the shed
      2. Wear a mask till you get on to the water
    4. Rowing:
      1. No coaching boats will be on the water
      2. Wear high visibility colours
      3. Take care for extra construction traffic
      4. Keep an eye out for other rowers
    1. Returning:
      1. Wait on the water to give people time to get out of the shed
      2. Mask back on till you get out of the shed
      3. Wash boats and oars down thoroughly with soap and water
      4. Dry your boat with your own towel.
  1. Ergs
    1. Book a slot on-line
    2. Max two ergs at a time
    3. Ergs stored inside at the carpark end of the shed.
    4. Move ergs out onto the grass by the side of the shed the school carpark when in use (not in the car park)
    5. Masks except when you’re actually sitting on the machine
    6. Pre/post santise the machine with provided materials
  1. Abide by the law and health orders.
    1. We’re not going to re-document every health order and requirement: QR code check-in, 5/10km travel limits, don’t come down if you’re feeling unwell, etc., it’s your responsibility to know what you’re allowed to do and not allowed to do. You will be on public display and there are active Police compliance patrols in the area. Just saying.
