Ja

Issued Monday 6 July, 2020

We are all very well aware of the global implications of the current Corona Virus, COVID-19. It is very clear that the policy of “Social Distancing” is the most important action individuals and social groups and clubs can take at this time to get ahead of this virus. As a club it is important that we cooperate and be seen to be compliant in this regard.

Therefore the following policy statement has been issued by the JDCSA Executive Committee in the interests of all club members and the wider community. We are conscious of the general age group of club members and the vulnerability of those in the over 60 category.

This statement will be updated as the situation changes and evolves and will be available here on the club web page. Some relaxation of regulations have been initiated as of 29th June and these will mean some activities may recommence in August, so stay tuned.

The Executive Committee has therefore determined as follows:

We require non-attendance at any club events by members returning from overseas or if they know they may have had contact with infected persons within a previous 14-day period. Obviously similar action applies to members who are experiencing flu-like symptoms. This policy should be observed for as long as the current crisis continues or until further notice. Hand sanitisation should be observed at all times.

General Monthly Meetings of JDCSA 

Our normal Monthly General Meetings will recommence as of Tuesday August 4th. at the Police Club, Carrington Street Adelside. The Bistro will be open, but guests will be limited to 60 members. Our meeting upstairs from 7.30pm. will need to be restricted to 70 members.

Annual General Meeting

Our AGM for 2020 will be held following the General Monthly Meeting on Tuesday, September 1st 2020. We remind you that nominations are now open for the election of club officers. Please see details and nomination forms in the Club Classic Marque magazine.

Register Meetings and Events

Registers will also start meetings and events again, your Register Secretary will inform you as and when meetings and events can re-commence. It is anticipated that some meetings will take place in August. Only events organised by the Register Secretaries and approved by the Executive Committee are allowed to be held in the name of the JDCSA.

Executive Committee 

The Committee will continue to meet monthly to monitor and oversee club events and activities via ZOOM / digital conferencing and/or email conversations. We will be constantly monitoring developments along with any Government instructions and will issue further updates as, and if, appropriate.

Basic protective measures against the Corona Virus include:

1. Stay aware of the latest information on the  COVID 19 SA Gov. website.

2. Take care of your health and protect others by doing the following:

    a.  Wash your hands frequently and use hand sanitiser,

    b.  Practice physical distancing of 1.5 m.

    c.  Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth

    d.  Covering your mouth  with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze.

Thank you for your cooperation and consideration.
