AHMF 2020 National Motoring Festival, including all drives, has been cancelled.

A few of the organisers had still planned on going to Albury to fulfil our responsibility to those people continuing on with their holiday in Albury.

With the way COVID-19 has been spreading and in view of today's government announcements, we cannot go to Albury at this time. It would be totally irresponsible for us to go.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison had told Australians to avoid all non-essential domestic trips.

SA health today announced, "Effective immediately, with border control from Tuesday 24 March 2020, everyone entering South Australia will be required to self-isolate for 14-days from their arrival. This will apply to South Australians, other Australians and other travellers entering the state."

Victoria and New South Wales will push for a lockdown of non-essential activities, including businesses.

This is going to get worse before it gets better. We have to do our bit to try to put a stop the spread to the COVID-19 virus - and we don't want our motoring enthusiasts and their families to catch this virus.

IF you are still going to Albury I am happy to email you information on drives but, please note, this is not an AHMF event. The AHMF 2020 National Motoring Festival, including all drives, has been cancelled.

I will make arrangements for everybody to receive their Souvenir Tour Books, Cooler bags, regalia etc over the next month.

I will then proceed refunding the balance of the money in the AHMF events account.

We are sorry to all who have planned this holiday for some time but we cannot proceed with this event in any way.

Cheers

Christine
