Merino Muster food handling Before starting wash hands and sanitise. Wear provided disposable gloves – we have large that can go over your gloves if you’re outside. Wear a provided mask or your own and please make sure your nose is covered. Cooking Tongs are provided. Become familiar with using tongs for turning and serving the food. Keep food in covered containers Serving Use tongs. Once you get used to using tongs it becomes a habit – I know we have gloves but lets impress the club members as once we’ve made a mistake we can get that one back. Water Bottles Supervise people filling their bottles that they don't touch the tap or any part of the container with the rim of their bottle. Condiments We have squeeze bottles – Servers should be adding the condiment _ Mayo, chutney, sauce and of course mustard rather than letting people put their hands on the bottles. (They could have just sneezed into their hand) Plates etc. We are using Paper Bag and serviettes – so all good Cups Hold at the base! Don’t put your fingers on the rim where people drink from. Thank you for going the extra mile – its important we take mitigating the spread of bugs seriously.

The 7km competitors finish at the lodge but the 14km head off again. The Lolly station in merino. Glen is hugely popular with the competitors. If you've completed the 7km Straggle Muster and wished you could ski a little more its time to upgrade to the 14km or the 21km. Double Fleece Double Fleece is a Woolly Sheep. You might say they are all woolly but a Double fleece is a hermit sheep that hides from the dogs and musterers. They miss shearing so have two or more years of wool. They became very clever and hid in the rocks above the Roaring Meg River. 42 km Merino Muster 21 km Snow Rake 14 km Double Fleece 7 km Straggle Muster Mini Merino
