06.01.2022 Hi all, Our next launch is scheduled for Drouin on Saturday 19th June. The current Melbourne COVID restrictions allow sporting activity of up to 50 people outdoors, but we are not allowed to travel out of Melbourne to regional areas. However the restrictions usually get updated on a 7 day anniversary of the original lockdown, so it is possible they will be eased in an announcement next Wednesday, allowing us to launch.... The club is putting in place the necessary actions to allow us to launch if restrictions are lifted. We will make an announcement next week when we have an update from the state government. Unfortunately, the weather for that day is forecast to be raining. We will take all of that into consideration. If we can’t launch we may postpone a week, or simply wait to the next Serpentine launch scheduled for 4th of July. Stay tuned !
05.01.2022 With no launches due to Stage 4 restrictions, we’re doing another flashback Friday! Stay tuned for more Tripoli Australia updates!

01.01.2022 Hi all, Unfortunately due to COVID restrictions, we've had to cancel this weekends Serpentine launch. We’ve decided not to simply postpone the launch by 1 week, but to cancel outright. We will reschedule at an appropriate time. Stay safe!
