Covid Protocol
A small number of club members have reported positive RAT tests recently, including a member of the Rutherglen squad. This is not unexpected given the level of infection in the broad community.
If you are feeling at all unwell with COVID like symptoms, stay away from the Club, get tested and isolate until you receive a negative test result.
Members are reminded that those returning +ve RAT tests should not attend the clubhouse . Guidelines from Rowing Victoria are on our website <HERE>
