| C. Council of Clubs Meeting | Phase 2 is a return to play, not competition. Any clinics, rides, etc. cannot affect member’s points or standings. Phase 3 will be June 21st at the earliest. Manitoba Health makes that decision. A document is being prepared and the province must give final approval. As a club we need to develop our own document specific to us. It must include distancing, registration (everyone who attends must register), signage, documents such a liability waivers, parking, etc.. Signage and masks will be provided by MHC if we ask for them. Iris will ask for masks and signage. The club needs to have a folder with documents: liability waiver, risk assessment form. Records must be kept for 21 days in case someone gets sick. Carrie and Judy have volunteered to be Covid reps for MTRC and DRM. They will ask questions of MHC and receive answers. Carrie will re do the wording on the MHC waiver and substitute it as our waiver. This form will have to be completed and printed by riders prior to the event and be handed in at the ride “In Gate”. A designated volunteer must collect this form prior to ride participants getting out of their vehicle or as soon as possible. Carrie is making a Covid checklist for both clubs. There was discussion regarding the following measures to help comply with Covid safety requirements: no food provided at rides, no goody bags, no ribbons (to be distributed at year end party), no walk up registrations, on- line pre-registration only, no bathroom facilities provided by the club. Ride maps/instructions could be emailed to riders prior to the ride and printed at home or downloaded onto a phone. We may need to limit the total number of participants if we approach 50. We then may need to negotiate so the riders bring a minimum number of support personnel/spectators. Participants other than riders will include: Ride Manager, Vet, Timer, Scribe and Covid Rep or volunteer. The vet will take pulses. Ride manager and timer could do courtesy checks with individual heart monitors. | Iris Carrie and Judy Carrie Carrie |
