Rotorua Meeting Postponed Until Friday

 

A heavy rain warning (Metservice) has been issued for Rotorua and surrounding regions for tomorrow, 3 December.

As such, and after support from the Club and RIB, an early decision has been made to postpone the meeting to Friday 5 December.

All scratchings have been re-instated.

The meeting will no longer be a twilight meeting with an estimated new Race 1 time of 1pm.

This decision has been approved by the TAB NZ Dates Committee.

They can't really win though.

If they don't postpone and the meeting is cancelled on the morning due to heavy rain, they will get severely criticised.

If the forecast heavy rain does not eventuate, they will get criticised

The weather forecast says it will and it is raining as predicted in most places.  Rotorua was going to be a Twilight meeting and the weather forecast has 40mm plus thunderstorms right in the middle of when the weather was hitting.

At least they made a decision early.
