Adverse Weather Arrangements

Adverse Weather Arrangements

(business etc) as usual

• If there is a thunderstorm warning or heavy rain, badminton classes will normally be held as usual. Coach Xiang Yang will make appropriate arrangements according to the rules of individual venues and the prevailing situation.
• If the instructor thinks that the badminton class can continue but the venue is not suitable for walking training, he/she will arrange for the trainees to learn the fixed technique and posture practice in the venue.

abolish

• Badminton classes will be canceled two hours before and after Typhoon Signal No. 8 is hoisted.
  Example: If Typhoon Signal No. 8 or above is forecasted at 6:00 p.m., badminton flights starting at 4:00 p.m. and after will be canceled.
• Badminton training classes will be canceled 2 hours before the Rainstorm Warning Signal (depending on the venue and according to the current school hours) is in effect.
  Example: If the Observatory issues a Rainstorm Warning Signal (Black Rainstorm) at 3:00 p.m., badminton classes at or before 5:00 p.m. on that day will be canceled.

Remarks

• If the venue is unsuitable for badminton activities due to weather conditions (e.g. thunder or heavy rain), Xiang Yang's coaches will make appropriate arrangements (e.g. swinging or stationary training) according to the conditions of individual venues, but the lessons will continue to be held.

Make-up Class Arrangement

• All badminton classes canceled due to weather conditions will be made up or refunded.
• The following badminton classes will be resumed if the Observatory removes the Adverse Weather Warning Signal which will lead to suspension of classes during the following hours:
  Badminton patches will return to normal two hours and beyond after the Observatory has removed the Typhoon Signal No. 8 or above or the Black Rainstorm Warning Signal.
  Example: If Typhoon Signal No. 3 is changed at 3:00 p.m., the badminton flights starting at 5:00 p.m. and after will be resumed as normal.

What should be done if a student is on his way to or has arrived at the venue only to find out that the badminton class is closed?

• As there will be or have been no badminton classes held at the venue, Xiangyang staff may not be stationed at the venue. Therefore, Xiangyang suggests that students who are going to the venue should return home as soon as it is safe to do so in order to avoid accidents.
• If students have already arrived at the venue and XIANGYANG staff is still on site, XIANGYANG will not allow students to enter the venue area for safety reasons. Shang Yang staff will also ask students to leave the venue when it is safe to do so.
