25.01.2022 Please see below link for an update from the Office of Sport and Dr Kerry Chant and attached information from Sport NSW, regarding non-essential travel within t...he state and its impact on community sport. As per Dr Chants recommendations the PCA NSW State Executive will conduct a full review on the viability of this years State Championships and confirm the outcome as soon as possible via a separate communication. However at this it is highly likely that all 2020 State Championships may be cancelled, not just those in to be held in the next six to eight weeks. As per the recommendations club activities may still go ahead under certain conditions as long as clubs have up to date Covid Safety Plans and complete a risk assessment for each activity to determine the risk to attendees regarding these recommendations. PCA NSW recommends that in addition to all Covid Safe Practices including staying home if you are unwell, restriction of participants from affected areas, social distancing and good hygiene attendees that attendees wear face masks when not riding, this includes all spectators and volunteers on the grounds. Clubs must cease any activities that result in overnight stays (camps) due to increased risk of COVID transmission with shared facilities. Ceasing of zone, regional or state championships or competitions for the next six weeks as these activities bring together participants including spectators and officials from different regions of the state. Riders who have nominated for the immediately affected State Championships will receive full refunds and nominations for further championships have been suspended until a risk assessment is completed by the State Executive for the balance of the years activities. Zones hosting Regional Schools, Instructor Schools and Assessments must review their Covid Safety Plans and risk assessments to determine the viability of the activity under these recommendations. As these activities have limits on attendees and do not include overnight stays/camping for participants they may go ahead with extra Covid precautions to be taken, including the wearing of face masks by all attendees when not riding.

21.01.2022 Important information regarding transfers (section 2, Cl 5.14 PCA NSW Handbook)

21.01.2022 I will be servicing the Cessnock and surrounding areas this Friday 24th. If you would like a session done on your horse please message or call to book. Did you... know? Equissage has 3 different settings (listed in the pics below) which provide the perfect treatment for any horse and allows for many benefits from having a session done. The benefits of 1 treatment will continue to increase for up to 6-8 hours post treatment. Equissage is great for both warming up and cooling down a horse. Warming up sessions help to stimulate circulation and muscles and aids in warming up a horse before work. Cooling down sessions help relax a horse and reduce the build up of lactic acid as well as the stiffening of muscles and joints.

08.01.2022 I am sure that you have all heard the media updates on easing of restrictions in NSW which is a very positive step in the right direction, however as yet there ...is no change to the restrictions imposed on sporting organisations. While this is disappointing for our members we need to ensure that we get it right the first time, NSW Health explains its process and preliminary findings about recovery time frames here. PCA NSW are working with the Acting Minister for Sport Dr Geoff Lee, the Office of Sport and other State Sporting Organisations (SSO) to ensure that the easing of restrictions for sport meet with NSW Public Health Orders. PCA NSW are working on risk assessment documentation and liaising with the above bodies to ensure a smooth transition once the frame work has been confirmed which we will circulate to members as soon as possible. Please note that this is not likely to occur by the weekend. The Office of Sport have formed a Recovery Group to help develop resumption of sport procedures and they will meet on Friday to discuss the proposed changes, phasing etc. therefore current Public Health Order restrictions are still in place and we cannot hold any face to face pony club activities and events. Instructors and riders may still work one on one however with the easing of restrictions a rider/horse may now travel to the instructors property to train. We also encourage Clubs and Zones to keep connected with their members via online and social media and we look forward to seeing the results of the many virtual rally days and competitions being shared online. PCA NSW will be circulating a survey to Clubs and Zones shortly and we urge Committee members to discuss the survey and respond accordingly to help provide a clear picture across the state. Kind regards Kerren Britton Executive Officer https://pcansw.org.au//news/covid-19-resumption-of-sport-u

02.01.2022 **Cancellation of State Championships** It is with enormous regret that Pony Club Association NSW advises of its decision to cancel all 2020 State Championships.... PCANSW had hoped to follow the revised schedule for 2020 to maintain an air of positivity for our sport, regrettably the time has come for us to concede that this is not possible. PCANSW have participated in a number of all-sport briefings with the NSW Government to receive the latest information from NSW Health and the Acting Minister of Sport. The advice at the last meeting was to ‘avoid large, inter-regional championships’. On Monday 17th August 2020, PCANSW received the advice of before the advice of the Chief Medical Officer, Dr Kerry Chant, which requested that all community sport organisations cease any activities that result in overnight stays due to increased risk of COVID transmission in these situations for a period of six (6) weeks commencing 19th August 2020. Three of the re-scheduled State Championship events fell within the six-week period to the which restrictions currently apply, with further events scheduled to occur with the 4 weeks following on from the current restriction. Acknowledging that this is a dynamic situation and recognising that the present restrictions are likely to be extended further, it was felt that the appropriate response would be to cancel all State Championship events for the remainder of 2020. This decision has not been made lightly as PCANSW recognises the broader responsibility we have to contribute positively to stop the transmission of COVID within NSW. PCANSW would like to recognise the enormous effort that goes into the planning and preparation of these events for organising committees, volunteers, competitors, and families. We understand that there will be disappointment because of this decision, however, it was felt that members would benefit most from clear directives for the remainder of 2020. 2020 has been a year that none of us will forget in a hurry, with drought, fires, flood and now COVID so affecting some many of our members, and now the cancellation of State Championships. PCANSW will now re-focus our activities towards providing further training and development opportunities for members for the balance of the year and planning for 2021.
