Joan of Arc Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I see the weather forecast for Rochester for tomorrow is 36 degrees.... what is the Victorian extreme weather policy? Is the show likely to be cancelled? ... The gazette said to look at the DogsVic website during the day but thought I would post here and ask what is normal....

brentland Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The Victorian policy re extreme heat is each club's decision. There is not a blanket policy. Should the individual club wish to cancel their event, it is their decision, and should be on the Dogs Vic website the day before the show.

Joan of Arc Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks brentland ... we have a blanket policy in NSW, not that its much better than individual choice... Edited to add that I have just checked the website and see that the two shows for Naracoote (sp?) have been cancelled.

Edited to add that I have just checked the website and see that the two shows for Naracoote (sp?) have been cancelled. isn't NSW policy that the show must stop if it gets to a certain temperature? so people then wait till it drops? Naracoorte is Sth Aust ... they have a definitive policy ... if forecast is 37c or higher the show is CANCELLED. Well done SA ... I believe all States should have a "blanket" policy.

teddywaddy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have been to shows where the forecast was 37 the day before, but it didn't reach anywhere that on the day, I think it should be up to the individual if they want to show or not, last Sunday at kcc park got to 36, but it wasn't forecast. Hard to determine what the weather is going to be these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's the situation and its a crock with respect.... if you have been to Wagga or Albury or the riverina to show you will know that if you stop a show at 35 and wait till it cools down you could still be there at 10 that night.... Just blanket cancel and be done with it... having said that we were very prepared: frozen water bottles for the dogs, cool coats, extra ice and plenty of water and shade.... and that was all for the dogs....
