21.01.2022 *** WINTER SCHOOL HOLIDAYS CLINIC*** (Provided the council restrictions on use of Elcho Park remain lifted) SATURDAY 4th and MONDAY 6th JULY 2020 (NOT Sunday 5t...h) ELCHO PARK, ELCHO ROAD, LARA DRESSAGE, SHOWJUMPING, CROSS COUNTRY Hi Guys! Due to popular demand and much pestering, I’ll be hosting a School Holiday clinic at Elcho Park on Saturday 4th and Monday 6th July (note not on Sunday 5th) provided the Geelong Council still allows access to Elcho Park. I’ll again be setting up a full competition course of showjumps and will be taking Showjumping, Cross Country and Dressage lessons, limited riders per group. Private lessons might also be available depending on demand. I’ll of course be working within the current COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions. The long range weather forecast for the three days (at this stage) looks to be okay! I mean, we won’t be getting out there in a bikini or anything, but it shouldn’t bucket down! Prices remain the same! Message me here on FB (note your message might be filtered if we’re not FB friends , so send me a friend request first ) and/or on 0427 424 222 by this Sunday, 28th June if you’d like to come along and which classes/ any time constraints, and please pass on to anyone you think might be interested in participating. Please stay at home if you feel unwell and seek medical advice if you have symptoms such as a runny nose, fever, cough, sore throat, breathing difficulties or have been in contact with someone that has COVID-19. If you have come into contact with someone who has the virus or you are concerned you may be infected, please call the Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 675 398. Health experts advise the best way to protect yourself from coronavirus is to pay attention to good hand hygiene and good respiratory hygiene, by: * Washing hands often with soap and running water, for at least 20 seconds. Dry with paper towel or hand dryer. * Try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth. * Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow. Looking forward to getting out there and having some socially distanced and COVID-conscious fun !
