Victorian Chapter Events for Year 2022
Dear Victorian Chapter members,
Due to the Covid pandemic we were unable to hold most of our popular functions over the past two years. The Geddes Dinner, Mixed Luncheon and the Victorian Dinner all had to be set aside due lockdowns, or the very risk they would present to our membership out of lockdown. Fortunately, we have been able to enjoy a few monthly RACV lunches over that time.
The situation for this year has been reviewed and an approach agreed. Bearing in mind the age of our membership and of the wives/partners, any future event may only be contemplated if it were to pose a minimal to zero risk. For the present, the problem with the Omicron variant is considered unacceptably high.
The possibility of another Covid variant emerging in the future must also be taken into account.
In essence, the situation will be closely monitored and, should it be deemed safe to hold one of these key events further down the track, plans will be put in place.
We are keen to recommence our social programme – but only when it is safe to do so.
The present intention is to march under the Scheyville banner in the April ANZAC Day pilgrimage to the Shrine.
We will keep you informed.
