To ensure that we keep our volunteers and members as safe as possible and also meet our legal obligations under the current Victorian government restrictions we have had to take the following steps until further notice:

Please note that we are now thankfully allowed a maximum of 1000 on the grounds at any time. This excludes volunteers. We need your help to be able to manage this legal requirement.

• Obedience classes will be run over three 45 minute sessions with a transition period of 30 minutes in between sessions. It is imperative that you head off straight from your class finishing.Beginners 12:15 – 1:00pm, Orange and Red 1:30 – 2:15pm, Yellow/ Pink/ Green and Blue 2:45 – 3:30pm.
• One handler per dog in attendance.
• Mandatory ‘check in’ on arrival. We will have the QR code displayed all around the Clubhouse and on the flag poles on the grounds.
• The toilets will be open to all members. Please follow hand hygiene.
• The kitchen will be selling hot packaged food only and Clubrooms will be closed to members who are not volunteers.
• The office will be open via the windows.
