Little Athletics Nunawading aims at all times to conduct its program for the safety and enjoyment of both athletes and the many volunteers. Accordingly due consideration must be given to the weather conditions be they hot or wet. But as the weather is variable, and can change quickly, it is virtually impossible for the Centre to make a firm decision prior to the morning of the schedule meet. Through LAV sponsorship a text messaging service will be utilised as necessary.

However, the following practices will apply:

• Wet weather: A final decision won‟t be made prior to the 8:45 AM scheduled commencement time unless otherwise obvious. On the morning of competition the Centre will monitor this decision in consultation with Clubs and officials and will either modify, or even cancel the meet, if deemed appropriate at any time. Eg. No high jump if take-off area slippery etc.



• Heat/Smoke Haze: If at 7:00 PM the night before scheduled competition the next day‟s forecast maximum temperature is to be 33degC or above, or there are warnings for extreme smoke/dust, these program changes may apply:



• all running events will be capped at 400m for U13 upwards and 200m for all other ages
• fewer events will be offered
• program will look to conclude at around 11:00 AM
