In saying this, I am not blaming the Club. All was going well in January and through February. On 6 March we were second to Newport in the State Championship point score and well ahead of the next clubs and looking forward to the Nationals in late April. However, as we all know the world was turned upside down with Covid-19. The clubhouse went into lock down and our Patrols were suspended for the rest of the season.
