COVID 19 Big Bash safety protocol

[Leo Martin]

Guys,

Whilst the COVID 19 virus is still in circulation our club needs a standard operating procedure to ensure conformance with the social distancing rules.

The items below are our proposal to ensure social distancing and the safety of our members. This is moving to the "new normal" and no doubt will continue to evolve as we continue the COVID journey.

Payment has to be received before the match date
The draw is done the night before the match and anglers are allocated the peg.
All anglers to drive straight to peg on morning of match in own cars and not carrying passengers
2m social distancing guidelines to be followed at all times before, during and after the match
Nets to be dried before the all in
Designated starter to blow whistle for start of match
After match finishes all anglers to pack up and only leave nets in water.
Designated weigher and scorer will arrive at each peg with tripod and scales
The angler tips his fish into the bag using the tripod frame. ( may pay to use 3 or more nets and even split as easier with new bag support)
The weigher then puts bag on scales, reads them and then tells the scorer
The weigher then tips the fish back, this to be repeated until all fish have been weighed
Once all fish have been weighed the angler then packs away his nets and leaves the site (no following the scales)
The weigher and scorer moves to next angler and carries on until all anglers have weighed in
The results will be published on the forum and Facebook the same night and any money paid out at the same time by the same way it was paid in.

Everyone's safety is paramount and we must look after each other during these strange times.

Very very good , but not to sure about travelling alone I understand the reasoning but this is not a government requirement for industry and could effect a 1 or 2 members
