The Royal South Street Society (RSSS) are making every effort to ensure our 2020 Eisteddfod can proceed where possible. We are closely following government announcements regarding restrictions and will continue to follow the advice given. At no stage will we proceed with any competition that puts our competitors, volunteers, staff, family and friends lives at risk. Your safety is our main concern.
The landscape will continue to change as we learn more and more about the virus. We will continue to send updates as we know more.
Please stay safe and take care, from the RSSS team.
With the rapidly changing situation in regard to Covid-19, I thought it was appropriate at this time to provide you with an update on our planning for Royal South Street’s 2020 Eisteddfod.
Royal South Street Society will always put the health and well-being of our competitors, volunteers, audience and staff first and foremost. With this in mind we will continue to monitor developments and take advice from government and experts as to the actions we should take.
Entries are now open for most of our disciplines and planning continues as normal for our competitions to open on 19 July.
As per our General Rule 2.4 Entry Fees
“Fees are non-refundable once entries close, unless for an extenuating circumstance or if the section is cancelled by RSSS.”
Therefore should Royal South Street cancel a section or sections we would contact all affected competitors in regard to processing refunds. It has also been Royal South Street’s policy to treat illness as an extenuating circumstance and refunded entrant fees in those cases.
Royal South Street Society will allow its staff to work from home where that is practical. This means that our office may at times be unattended. If you need to contact us please do so via email, and we will answer your question promptly. Our email is info@royalsouthstreet.com.au
Please all take care.
Best Regards
