Rylstone Classic

It is with a heavy heart that today we announce the cancellation of the 2020 Rylstone Classic.

We have made it clear that our intention has always been to deliver a COVID Safe event, developing a COVID Safety Plan and altering the event format to ensure we mitigate the risk that Coronavirus presents to our competitors and the broader community.

While satisfied that our event complied with all necessary legal requirements, running the event in 2020 now does not pass the simple logic test.

As Victoria continues to battle a second wave and parts of New South Wales are seeing escalations in case numbers, the right thing to do is to cancel the event and focus on our individual contributions towards keeping our community COVID Safe. With government advice now against any unnecessary travel, our field of 380+ competitors presents a risk to the broader community.

For those who have supported and sponsored the 2020 event, we thank you. Your enthusiasm to see our event proceed has kept us going. We are therefore delighted to announce that the 10th anniversary Rylstone Classic is now planned for 21-22 August 2021.

Please see a list of FARQs on our website at www.rylstoneclassic.com/covid19 and feel free to reach out directly if you have any questions.

Yours sincerely,

Evan Redman

Event Director

All British Day

Sadly, this event is now cancelled.

As the lockdown is now ramping up I think you would agree that it is more unlikely that we can manage the extra requirements for a Covid safe event.

It is with great disappointment that I concede that the virus has beaten us.

In June, the NSW Government was aiming to allow small music festivals to

operate from August but there is no sign of this happening now. At the moment, we would fall under the Showground category which allows 1 person per 4 square metres but with a limit of 500 people per event (non-seated). With an average of two people per car that would only allow 250 cars.

We are not able hold our planning meetings in the hall at Brush Farm due restriction of numbers so rather than prolong the situation I think it is best if we cancel for 2020.

The most logical action going forward is to credit each club, whatever they have paid, against next year’s event.
