Good afternoon members,
A Status Red weather warning has been issued for Cork which is in place until 8am on Friday morning from 3am Friday morning. The safety of our members always comes first and the Club will remain closed until at least 11am on Friday morning. We will assess the situation early in the morning and once it is safe to do so the club will reopen.
We will update you further tomorrow morning regarding Friday's Junior Coaching.
Cork City Council is advising the public as follows:
-
Do not go outside during the period that the Red warning is in place;

-
Take care as structural damage may have occurred to buildings;
-
Stay away from exposed quays, coasts, rivers and lakes;
-
