While we have enjoyed some settled weather and beautiful mid-winter sunshine recently, it won't always be that way!  A bit of rain or wind might not slow most WOPpers down, but we do need to keep everyone's safety in mind.  In the event of severe weather warnings from MetService or NIWA:  

• RED Alert: Walks WILL NOT go ahead.  
• ORANGE Alert: Walks MAY be cancelled.  

If there is an orange alert or if the weather looks uncertain, please check your email, the WOPs Facebook group, and the Sporty App for updates or cancellations. Walkers enrolled for the term will be notified as early as possible to keep everyone safe and informed.  If no message is received by 7:10am, the walk will proceed as scheduled.
