Dave sent a reply to my email about restricting flying as follows:
My thoughts only but if we are going to keep the club open. We need to be specific.
Social Distancing. At all times. Including pits, flying box and field and clubhouse. No buddying up or offering assistance. Admire others aircraft from afar, offer assistance verbally from a distance, sympathy and condolences from not too close, walk of shame will be done alone.
No handling of other person’s planes or equipment.
One person flying at a time, no more than 2 in the spectator’s box.
Bring your own food and drink. Till further notice no communal cooking. Either bring your own cup or glass and utensils or wash up in hot water and detergent and place away after each use.
Sanitising gel to be used before and after eating (provided and left in kitchen area.)
Bring your own writing utensils, tools or equipment, don’t lend to anyone else.
For your consideration, may not be all encompassing. I think we have to consider restricting visitors, family and friends for a while as well but that’s for greater minds than mine to ponder.
The committee will be trying to meet shortly using skype/video conferencing. The one JR has been experimenting with (Zoom I think it's called) is free for the first 35 minutes. If this is successful, we may attempt to run a GM down the track using it.
Meetings may have to be adjourned every 30 minutes for a wee break (wee, as in small).
Please talk among yourselves and on here so we can come up with a solution that keeps us flying.

Everyone knows that REAL ENGINES are used by REAL men. Eklectic motors are best left for use in toothbrushes and other unnecessary things.
