RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS (COVID -19)

The Burnside Painting Group management committee has been keeping a close watching brief on the development of Coronavirus (COVID19) in Australia and the advice of Australia’s Chief Medical Officers and the SA Health Department.

Whilst we would like to continue a “business as usual” approach, we importantly need to acknowledge that our membership base is in the vulnerable to most vulnerable age brackets. Given the increasing spread of this disease throughout our communities, and the uncertainty surrounding the position in the coming months, the Committee has decided to adopt a prudent and responsible response as follows:-

CLASSES TERM 2: The following classes scheduled to commence in April 2020 are CANCELLED:-

Monday morning commencing 30 March (M2) – Trevor Newman, Pastels
Wednesday evening commencing 8 April (W2) – Lisa Ingerson, Still Life in Oils.

Members who have enrolled and paid for these classes will receive a refund.

WORKSHOPS: The Workshop scheduled for Saturday 3 May is CANCELLED.

SOCIAL NIGHT: The next Social Night scheduled for Wednesday 1 April is CANCELLED.

COMPANION PAINTING: Monday Companion Painting group in the small room will FORMALLY CEASE until further notice following this Monday 16th March. However, at this stage Members are still free to meet in the large Hall and use the facilities on Monday mornings at your individual discretion and risk, and provided you are following the advice of the Australian Chief Medical Officer and government. St Matthew’s Hall is now providing paper towels and hand sanitisers in the bathrooms.

PLEIN AIR PAINTING GROUP: The Plein Air briefing session scheduled for 12.30pm on Monday 16 March is CANCELLED

The Plein Air outing planned for 3 April is CANCELLED

FURTHER UPDATES: The BPG Management Committee will continue to keep you updated on BPG activities as the situation develops. We will aim to reschedule classes and workshops, and reinstate the Companion and Plein Air Painting Groups as soon as it is deemed safe to do so.
