Hello All,
I have again called Toowoomba Regional Council (“TRC”), and Deb at Park and Rec has just advised that Highfields is closed however Toowoomba including Gold Park and Upper Nell E Robinson Wanderers is OPEN!!
We will take a very cautious approach to All persons Safety & Welfare. If we within 20kms of a Storm Cell I will send another e-mail that play is suspended or abandoned.
Refer the following – World Rugby Lightning Policy will be adhered to.

7:30am the overnight storms that developed inland tracked to the coast exactly as forecast… let’s call that the first wave .
Remember that SEVERE storms are expected this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow morning across SEQLD!

Player Dispensation
Dispensation Process
Please find attached relevant dispensation forms ‘Parent/Guardian consent form’ and ‘Assessing Coach Form’.
Please be aware that only an accredited level 2 coach (or above) who has completed the assessing coach module via the Rugby Australia Online Learning Centre is able to complete the assessing coach form on behalf of a participant. We are aware that some schools may not have access to level 2 coaches, should you need assistance in sourcing appropriately accredited assessing coaches, please let me know at your soonest convenience and I will endeavour to assist where possible.
Please note while we wish to maximise participation, the dispensation process should be followed as intended by Rugby Australia and the integrity of player safety maintained at all times.
