Due to some of the legal requirements our club needs to uphold, we will need help from our members otherwise we will not be able to start back up. There is a long list of rules we must implement however the biggest requirement is contact tracing. All individuals must sign in and out at their allo...cated game field every time they come to the touch complex. This means we need a person on each game field to make sure everyone on the field signs in and out. We will let all our members know once our plan is approved and all the legal requirements that is needed from our club and members in detail. If any members are willing to help with the sign in and out process please message or comment below. Knowing how many potentially helpers we have will let our committee know if we can full fill the contact tracing requirements and get us closer to playing again.

The teams who comment below will be put into the draw for this Monday night.

08.01.2022 Update: thank you for everyone who has offered to volunteer at the gates tonight however games will still be cancelled. Due to the amount of work to set up everything before players arrive and not knowing if we would get enough volunteers we had no choice but to cancel games. We hope that we can get enough volunteers next week for the Mix grand final games to go ahead. Unfortunately due to lack of volunteers to run the entry and exit gates all Mix Touch games will be cancell...ed tonight. The committee did not come to this decision lightly however contact tracing is a major requirement of our COVID safe plan and to achieve this goal we need volunteers at the gates to make sure everyone is signing in and out. Failure to up hold our COVID safety plan can result in a heavy fine which our club can not afford. Please let your team players know that games are cancelled and hopefully next week for the grand finals we might get enough volunteers to go ahead with those games. See more

07.01.2022 Update on returning to play: The QLD Government is beginning stage 3 of the roadmap to recovery today at 12pm and it looks like all community sports can recommence from then on. However due to some confusion and uncertainty in the wording we are waiting on clarification from the government regarding if the original 100 limit has been lifted or it still applies. The committee are planning to return to playing touch by the end of July. We are still waiting for the QLD Government to release to us the full protocols and requirements we need to adhere to for them to give us permission to play. We are hoping to give you more information in the coming days.
