In case of Bad Weather;
Workshops will proceed unless the weather is plainly unsuitable. Good photography does not require "good" weather and cloudy conditions are perfect for some subjects.

If the weather conditions are too bad e.g. steady rain or very windy the class may be postponed and I will send a text message to your mobile phone based on the Bureau of Metrology weather forecast at 6pm the day before the workshop.
(see www.bom.gov.au/weather/nsw/)
In which case I will try to reschedule the class to suit the majority of students.
