Dear Bellville Athletic Club Member
Re: Weekly Time Trial.
We are all aware of the situation in which we currently find
ourselves in, regarding the Corona Virus. Yesterday the Western Cape Sport
Federation issued an advisory that all sport in the province should be postponed
or cancelled for the next 14 days, which includes all competitions and even all
practices.
Last evening I had a discussion with the rest of our
committee about our weekly time trial on Thursday evenings, and as a committee
we are not confident that we can provide our members with a safe environment,
and with so many factors that we have no control over, it was decided to cancel
our time trial until further notice. This will also include all clothing and
licence sales.
We realize that this will be deemed an overreaction by some people,
but we are no experts on this virus we rather want to be safe than sorry.
I read somewhere that if in three months’ time, we look back and say everyone overreacted,
and that the situation did not turn out that bad, then it means that everything
we are doing now is 100% the right approach to take.
As always, we will update you as soon as the situation has
improved, and it is safe for us to resume our time trials.
Stay safe, healthy and please look after yourselves,
Andre
