Unfortunately due to the evolving COVID outbreak in Melbourne the club has made the decision to cancel the trial.
This is not the outcome we had hoped for but the logistics of replacing interstate judges (judging 4 stakes over the two days) who’s state border restrictions would require them to quarantine on return to their home state have made it untenable.
Government announcements today have indicated that there may be further restrictions announced in the next 24 hours which could further impact events. We hope by making this announcement at this time those that have booked accommodation will be able to obtain refunds.
We are undecided as to whether or not the trial will be able to be rescheduled.
