Prizegiving
- Yes the Bonanza is still going ahead!!!
- This event is a NON-Vaccine Pass event.
- We can run this event even during RED Level, within the rules for sporting events for non-profit organisations.
- We have a fenced-off area for the weigh station and under red level rules only a maximum 25 people can be in there at one time.
- Competitors come in, weigh their fish, and leave. In this way the weigh station will operate in a similar manner as supermarkets.
- Only those weighing fish are to come to the weigh station, children may have one adult with them.
- While waiting to enter the weigh station we ask that competitors wear a mask and maintain social distancing while in line.
- We will be working to make the wait time as short as possible. Please be patient.
Prizegiving
- There will be no live prizegiving.
- Winners will be notified by phone and results will be published on the club website.
- This decision has been made due to the 25 person maximum rule that, we as organisers, must follow. This was the only way we could maintain a fishing competition for 2022.
