All exhibitors will receive an update in the days prior to the show, reminding them of requirements and advising of any changes or updates. Social Distancing guidelines must be followed at all time. The RAS continues to work with NSW Health. Based on current guidelines and conditions the following applies: 1) Upon entries closing, we will be in contact with you to find out the details of who will be attending. The passes which you will be issued will also act as your QR code and are not transferable. 2) Huts / Lofts - only 2 people may share a loft in the lower section with the top section being out of bounds. Those 2 people must be from the same household. 3) Facemasks must be worn at all times in the Marshalling area and the Show Ring. The exhibitor is responsible for supplying enough facemasks for the entire show and masks must be changed or washed regularly. This includes those managing animals who may not be going into the ring. If in this area at anytime, even when judging is not taking place, face masks must be worn. 4) QR codes will also be displayed in the pavilion and everyone is required to scan in every day. If you are not sure if you have scanned in, just do it again. Better to be safe than sorry. 5) No animal inspections will take place. It is the exhibitors responsibility to ensure the correct animal is in the ring and that the animal meets all the criteria set out in the AAA Showing rules. There will be time for colour checks prior to judging if required. 6) Anyone who develops any of the Covid symptoms, including headache, sore throat, fatigue, shortness of breath, aches & pains, loss of smell or taste, runny nose chills, vomiting etc, must advise the Convenor and isolate immediately.
