[Canberrabirds] FW: Wednesday 13 January 2021 – COG Members’ Night

["" <>]

Hello members and guests, somehow the ACT continues to be COVID-free and it looks like we’ll be able to have our Members’ Night meeting under unchanged conditions this Wednesday evening.

 

I’m looking for some volunteers to help me with the following tasks.

 

1. Hand sanitiser – is anyone able to clarify what happened to the many containers that were available at the COG Christmas Get-together?  If these can not be used we will need to purchase some to have spread around the room, including near the sign in area.
2. Is some-one please able to assist with showing attendees where/how to sign in using the QR code, or the sheet for those who are not able to use the check in CBR app, and also to ensure an even flow of attendees coming through the entry door?
3. While I will bring the tea/coffee kit could some-one please volunteer to serve the tea/coffee from behind the kitchen hutch at the end of the meeting?
4. I will also need some volunteers to help clean up/sanitise after the meeting as per the approved COG COVID Safety Plan.

 

Could I also please remind all proposed attendees to maintain the correct social distancing, and to practice the proper hygiene (there will be some signage to help)?

 

Also if you are feeling unwell please do not attend, so that we can have a safe and successful first face-to-face meeting for 2021.

 

Many thanks

 

Jack Holland

COG MEMBERS’ NIGHT, 7:30 pm, 13 January 2021

 

The traditional COG Members’ Night will again be held at:

 

VENUE – St James Uniting Church Hall, off Gillies St, Curtin

 

Following the approval of our COVID Safety Plan, COG will hold our January Members’ Night there as a face-to-face meeting.

 

Seating will be arranged so that there is only one person per 2 sq m and with 1.5 m distancing, except for members of the same family group, with a maximum of 72 people.

 

All attendees must practice good hand and respiratory hygiene and stay home if unwell.

 

As required by the ACT Government for application of the 2 sq m per person rule, the ‘Check In CBR’ app will be used to collect participants contact details, using the QR code displayed at the entrance to the St James Hall.

 

If attendees do not have or can not share this app, COG will provide a blank sheet for these participants to record their names and contact details.

 

For the full details all proposed attendees should make themselves familiar with COG’s approved COVID Safety Plan at  http://canberrabirds.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/COG-COVID-Safety-Plan_18Dec20.pdf 

 

Tea/coffee/biscuits will be available after the meeting as usual.

 

Attendees will be permitted to bring their own food for personal consumption.

 

There will be the usual monthly raffle.
