Well Spotted Tim , all corrected cheers

Hey guys. Long time no flip!

Given the easing of restrictions some of the other states are starting up social comps. If you guys were keen I’m sure there’d be a lot of interest in some similar

comps at A Worx?

 

Would be pretty easy to adhere to 1.5m social distancing rules by using alternate games

 

We’d all save a dollar too as no IFPA payment required lol.

 

Thoughts?

Pretty sure it can't happen until we move to the next stage of restrictions at the end of the month at the earliest. Can't play pinball, arcade, pool or darts in pubs yet either. $5000 fine to the venue from what I've read online.

 

I haven't played since March 21st. Probably forgotten how to by now anyway :unsure

Hey Andrew and Rob. It’s Qld and NSW. Two states with actual active cases!

We’ve been v lucky in SA.

 

Yeah I think by the end of the month will be completely fine to get 20ppl in there.

More about generating interest and discussion at this point. But we should aim for July.

Indoor sports will be back on then.

 

Fingers crossed.

Personally , we haven’t had a positive Covid case in any of our patients for months.

No comps in NSW or Qld. There are a few meets starting to happen but they’re at private residences with restrictions on numbers due to the cap on visitor numbers allowed over as guests.

We're running a City vs Country event here in WA - down in Margaret River. Perth living folks, vs anyone further south than Mandurah. It's an annual social event, but usually get 20+ folks attending. This year it's in a warehouse, so no venue issue.
