We are delighted to advise that we are recommencing our Ride Programme.
From Thu 08 Oct, Auckland will be at COVID Level 1. Common sense dictates that we still need to take care and keep to the following guidelines :
* The Ardmore Hall is restricted to a maximum capacity of 30 attendees. This shouldn't be a problem as ride attendance this year has generally been below this level;
* There will be an official QR code available. Please ensure you have downloaded the NZ COVID Tracer app and scan the QR code on entry to the hall;
* If you do not have a device then there will be a manual contact tracing sign-in sheet;
* Please DON'T come if you are feeling unwell. (This may be stating the obvious but needs to be said)
Your safety and the safety of your fellow club members is our priority.
