As most people would have expected there have been more cancellations and postponements to local events over the 24 hours.

Great Southern Netball Association have put a hold on all training and games as from this morning. 

In a statement to the clubs from the GSNA President Sherryl Rothwell, “We would recommend that all clubs cancel all netball-related activities until further notice. This includes all training and games and will include our GSNA Rep Teams”. She then added in her statement “We are awaiting more information and direction from Netball SA and this will be provided to you as soon as possible. We understand that this is a rapidly changing and evolving situation and just as we know our affiliated clubs do, at GSNA we want to ensure the safety and health of all our players, officials, volunteers, family, friends and the wider netball community”.

Great Southern Football League are yet to announce the future of the season. Many local clubs have put a hold on training and games effective immediately until further notice. GSFL President Terry Corcoran had this statement on the League's Facebook page "We know the SANFL season is on hold until the 31st May for now, and the AFL Season has been shortened but we are still unsure of the fate of local comps at this very moment".

The annual McLaren Vale Vintage and Classic 2020 has been cancelled. 

This year’s event was anticipated to draw in excess of 15,000 local, South Australian and interstate visitors to the Grand Parade on McLaren Vale Main Street on Sunday April 5, 2020.

Event Chairman Trevor Sharp said, “For this year, we have received record entry levels of classic cars and motorcycles that would have paraded down the Main Street of McLaren Vale. Sadly, we have had no other choice but to cancel the event.”

Trevor Sharp commented that: “A primary goal of McLaren Vale Vintage & Classic, now in its 15th year, is to raise funds for the McLaren Vale and District Hospital, CFS McLaren Vale and CFS McLaren Flat units and, this year, the Southern Koala Rescue. It will be doubly disappointing if our charitable goals are not met due to events beyond our control.”

The Great Southern Run Fest 2020 which was scheduled for May 3 has now been postponed to 29 November. 

In a statement on their Facebook page, race organisers said “All race entries received so far will automatically be transferred to the new date, which I hope will be acceptable to most of you. Should you be unable to make it to the Great Southern on 29 November you can have a full refund”.

Cain McDonald Principal of Tatachilla Lutheran College announced through social media the need to cancel the school’s major annual event the Twilight Food Affair. 

Mr McDonald said “We are devastated that this popular, annual event will not be going ahead, but in the interest of keeping everyone healthy and safe, we have had to make this decision for the wellbeing of our community.” The school would like to thank the sponsors who have willingly donated prizes, money and services to this event.
