RAFTCOSA & GRCSA re Hard Border Closures/Refunds

[Jessie Hughes]

Whilst we are all hopeful that this will be a “normal” retrieving season, we do understand that Covid-19 is an ongoing issue. We also know that state governments act very quickly when there is a reported outbreak and one of their favoured strategies is to close borders to interstate travel.

In light of this RAFTCOSA Inc and the Golden Retriever Club of SA Inc. have decided that for 2021 – if an interstate trialler enters any of our 6 week-ends (RAFTCOSA) or 1 week-end (GRCSA) of retrieving trials and then, because of a hard border closure, is unable to travel into South Australia to compete, we will refund the entry fee they have paid.

Please note that we will NOT refund any extra charges made by EasyDogs – only the entry fee as listed on the schedule. We accept posted entry forms with cheque included or EFT to Club account (email Convenor for details) which will be fully refunded if hard border closure applies.

Our trials for 2021 are:
8th & 9th May - RAFTCOSA, Mulgundawa
15th & 16th May - RAFTCOSA, Springton
5th & 6th June - RAFTCOSA, Tolderol

26th & 27th June - GRCSA, Woodchester

3rd & 4th July - RAFTCOSA, Meningie
17th & 18th July, RAFTCOSA, Morgan
7th & 8th August - RAFTCOSA, Loveday
