ROADMAP (PHASE A) OPPORTUNITIES FOR MELBOURNE

The Directions released last night have not specifically confirmed the ability for those involved in contactless recreation to access indoor spaces to gain the required equipment; e.g. access to the Boat Shed. This impacts Rowing and other activities. This has been an historic and consistent oversight and ideally will be rectified shortly. RV will update the Melbourne community asap. Thanks for your (ideal) patience and we acknowledge your frustration.

Stay safe, Stay Rowing!
