Coronovirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
In line with Western Australian government regulations of 19 May 2020 the limit on CTAWA day rides is lifted to 20 riders per group (larger attendances will be split into groups of 20 and groups separated by 50 metres to approximate the recommendations for multi-site fixed venues). Tours and Social Evenings are still suspended pending further relaxation of Covid-19 regulations. Read Stu’s full letter here.
