U can add Marty to the list, Im keen, still no locker in yet though.

WE HAVE A PROBLEM

According to the forecast its going to be 37 on Saturday, 38 on Sunday and 35 Monday - this raises serious safety and club responsibility issues.

1/ FIre Risk

2/ Overheating People

3/ Overheating Vehicles

Under the circumstances have no option to call it off - sorry.

Will re schedule at the next club meeting.

Bwaaaaaaah! But I agree. Once it's over 30 it can be a bit unpleasant out in the bush, especially in a zook with no A/C.
Hope I can make it on next scheduling.
Fair call Ross!

Bruce.

Below is the forecast for Ballarat.
It will be 32 on Saturday and will be hotter out further out.
So is this definetly called off ?

I appreciate your enthusiasm Andrew - I'm not that pleased about it myself as its been forever since we had a club trip
but as "trip leader" I have to make a call and IMO its just too risky.

Many of our vehicles aren't air conditioned so its hard on people and low speed work on 35+ degree days is very hard on engines. I am also concerned about the obvious fire danger.

I'm sorry - but from my perspective its postponed till another day.

Thanks..

Good decision... I'll take a rain cheque.

Can't say I like eating dust to much.
