GMTB NEEDS YOU!
**UPDATE** BAW BAW POSTPONED…
After conversations with Stewart Galloway (Outdoor Operations at Mt Baw Baw) Nick King, Shane Currie and Dave Rees we have decided to postpone the race meeting scheduled for this weekend, 14th-15th Feb at Mt Baw Baw. The re-scheduled date will still fit well with the calendar, doesn’t clash (that we can see) with other events, fits well with the Mt Baw Baw weather and is still within daylight savings.
We generally feel this is the most prudent thing to do given the fires in Gippsland are not yet contained, the weather patterns for later in the week are not favourable and we don’t wish to place anyone in a position that could turn very bad at any time. This, coupled with the added problem facing Mt Baw Baw, their water supply is possibly contaminated by ash, has brought us to this position.
Could we also ask that members of other clubs copied on this note also post to their Web sites and notify members accordingly. We will send out another note shortly officially notifying everyone of the rescheduled date. We are waiting on confirmation from Mt Baw Baw first.
