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!
World Rugby Lightning Policy will be adhered to.
