Events will be cancelled if there is a thunderstorm warning, a T8 or above or a red rain or above. We will still go ahead if it is a T1 or T3, if it is an Amber Rain, or if it is raining.

Should the event organizer be unable to attend due to work obligations or other circumstances, the hiking event will be cancelled unless another event organizer can lead the group instead.
