Weather policy

The night before an event, the committee will advise by email and social media by 6pm if the event will be cancelled due to weather concerns.

This decision will be made by consensus of three or more members of the committee based on forecast rainfall, wind speed, temperature and UV rating.

Any cancellations will be expressly for the purpose of safety and avoiding equipment damage and as such are not negotiable.
