[Centres] Coronavirus UPDATE 20-03-2020

[jan pike]

Hello Everyone,

>> The Board has received a few emails asking for clarification regarding yesterday’s memorandum. The following information has been compiled by the Board and hopefully will answer concerns.
>> 
>> The decision made yesterday in a Memorandum from the Board was taken following directives from the Health Authorities and State Advisory Bodies along with our insurers, EBM Insurance Company. 
>> 
>> We understand some Centres would like to keep  activities going but as previously noted, the decision made yesterday, cancelling all non essential activities at RDA Centres or approved venues was not taken lightly. Obviously, as previously stated, this does not include activities necessary to maintain our horses’ health and wellbeing.
>> 
>> The Board understands you maybe enduring financial hardship  however, we would have imagined our participants and our members health and safety would be the main consideration here.
>> 
>> The end of the shutdown depends upon the Health advice received from the  Government and RDA(NSW) Board will be reviewing the COVID-19 situation regularly as information evolves. Any changes will be relayed to Centres as they become available. 
>> 
>> The Board recognises the inconvenience caused by this situation and can only hope you will understand our  position in taking this firm stance.
>> 
>> Kind regards,

Jan Pike 
Hon Director/Executive Officer 
Riding for the Disabled Association (NSW)
