TLA Wet Weather Policy

Wet weather.

For the safety of all involved there will be times throughout the season that competition nights will be called off. The committee will endeavour to give as much notice as possible but on occasion's a decision could be made quite late.

Reasons why competition nights will be called off:

• Wet weather. If it is raining or threatening to rain.
• Lightning associated with thunderstorms.
• High wind. Wind affects some events E.g. High Jump & Long jump.
• If Maitland Council have closed the ground. This usually occurs after many days of wet weather. While it may not have rained during the day of competition the council can close the ground for additional days to allow it to dry out. This is out of the committees control.
• Extremely high temperatures. Again the safety of our athletics could be at risk if competing in high temperature as such the night may be cancelled.

The committee will always try its best to have all competition nights go ahead. However our first priority is the safety of all members of the club.

If a night is to be cancelled a message will be placed on the home page information board after 4PM on this website. Alternatively ring Terry, club president on 0414 662 478 .
