19.01.2022 ** Devonport Cup 2021 Patrons*** As you may be aware, due to current Covid-19 restrictions, our maximum crowd capacity is 1,000 which is severely short of our r...egular crowds. We also are still governed by the 2 square metres per person rule, which is greatly impacting the capacity in marquees. Within the governments event framework we have been able to apply to extend this number, and are currently awaiting acceptance of our Covid safe plan. We will be in touch over the coming week with marquee holders with the new limits we are proposing. For those on waiting lists, please know we will contact you when we know more. Recently announced was the allowing of vertical drinking outside (from November 13) which will allow patrons at the Cup to be able to freely stand outside whilst drinking, while still remaining Covid safe. Once we have further information we will let you know.

12.01.2022 * Further Update* Tasmanian racing industry response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) All Tasmanian race meetings, barrier trials and trackwork (including access to li...censed training stables) in Tasmania across all three codes will not be open to the public (including owners) effective immediately and until further notice. While total attendance at many Tasmanian race meetings, barrier trials and trackwork is likely to be less than 500, Tasracing has determined that a blanket approach should be taken by Tasracing, the Office of Racing Integrity (ORI) and the host clubs. The Tasmanian racing industry has a responsibility to support the actions taken to minimise the impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the wider community. The decision was taken following a discussion with all Clubs across the three codes today. Attendance will only be provided to essential personnel, which on raceday is restricted to the following: - Tasmanian Office of Racing Integrity - Stewards - Veterinarians - Trainers, Jockeys, drivers, stablehands - Licensed greyhound participants with a runner at the race meeting - Barrier attendants, starters and essential track staff - Clerks of the course - Judges and sectional timing teams - Weighing room staff and jockeys attendants - Raceday event staff and security including horse stalls, mounting yards and float car park - Club Doctor and ambulance services - Farriers and other essential service providers approved by Tasracing and host race clubs - Broadcast services including race caller and limited media presenters - Restricted racing media as approved by Tasracing and the race club - Restricted operational race club staff and management No on-course wagering facilities will be available and essential personnel will be required to leave the racecourse after their horses or greyhounds have run. Access will not be permitted to any essential personnel that: - Are suffering from coronavirus symptoms or is otherwise unwell. - Have been to a country considered at higher risk of COVID-19 in the past 14 days, currently mainland China, Iran, Italy and South Korea. - Are subject to self-isolation requirements imposed by the Government. - Have been in close contact with a person suspected or confirmed to have coronavirus. Further, if any essential personnel are in a high-risk group such as older people or people with underlying illnesses that make them more vulnerable to respiratory disease, including those with diabetes, chronic lung disease, kidney failure and people with suppressed immune systems, that person should not attend race meetings, barrier trials or trackwork (including accessing licensed training stables). Enhanced hygiene measures will also be implemented throughout Tasmanian racecourses. These restrictions will be reviewed on an ongoing basis in consultation with ORI, the Clubs and other Industry bodies. Tasracing will continue to keep all industry participants advised of any developments.

09.01.2022 Hi everyone! After heaps of enquiries this week regarding the Birdcage opening dates I thought I would just let everyone know that we have decided to wait until stage 3 restrictions are lifted. At the moment because of the distancing rules our space is only big enough to allow 7-8 people seated in the bar area and we know everyone is as keen to have a beer and dont want to be turning away more that we are allowed to serve! Stage three also means gaming will be running agai...n so everyone can check their keno tickets We are super keen to see everyone! Also if anyone is interested in booking a function in either our upstairs or downstairs areas we have started taking some booking dates if you want to inbox our page (to be confirmed once we know more of the rules) *Room hire for Friday and Saturday night functions is still only $100 from 6pm- 12midnight!
