The Fours Head Committee continue to carefully monitor the forecast for Sunday. As of 0930 on Friday, 3 November the Committee still hope to run the competition on Sunday but anticipate that it will be necessary to reduce the size of the competition to reflect the conditions.
Any reduction in numbers will be in line with the process set out on our website and in accordance with the guidance from the PLA for yellow flag conditions.
The Committee’s primary concern is still with the stream and flow rate. If the PLA Ebb Flag Status is red we will be unable to run the Fours Head, however, even a yellow flag when combined with other conditions may preclude us from running a safe competition.
All clubs / crews should revisit their own risk assessment in light of the forecast conditions and consider whether it is still appropriate for them to race. If crews choose to scratch and we do run the race, those crews will be given a full refund. If the race is cancelled, all crews will be treated equally for refunds, based on the final costs incurred by the competition. In any case, refunds will not be made until after Sunday, 5 November.
A further update will be provided this evening after 1930.
