The WA Government recently issued in response to the COVID-19 crisis the "Preventative Restriction of Activities Directions" directive. You can read the directive here.

In summary it is now an offence to hold gatherings of two or more people, that don't reside together, for 'sporting activity' - which our current understanding is that model flying clubs fall under.

We received followup information from the MAAA and AWA that inline with current State and Federal directives they are advising that clubs close until further notice and many clubs across the country have started doing this.

Therefore we regret to advise that EFFECTIVE SATURDAY 28th MARCH AT 5PM WARMS WILL BE CLOSED FOR FLYING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

You will be able to access the field on Saturday 28th March but please observe social distancing rules if you do.

AT 5PM Saturday the gate lock code will be changed and no further access will be allowed except by the caretaker and the committee for purposes of maintaining the club grounds and assets.

Rest assured the committee are continuing to seek advice from the relevant bodies and interpret what we can and can't do and will re-open the club as soon as we are allowed to.

Also note that general and committee meetings will be suspended during this time. The committee will continue to communicate and consider any critical resolutions by email and keep the membership informed.

I'm sure you'll agree we can't get past this horrible situation soon enough!

Keep safe everyone,

WARMS Committee
