Clarification on 17nov trek

Dear odacers,

I apologised for the late notice concerning the postponing of today's activity as i only received the call from the teacher at about 11:30am and it was the fastest i could disseminate this news to everyone. Due to the heavy rain that was occuring at many parts of Singapore, especially at Macritchie Reservoir which is also the Central Catchment Area, we have no choice but to postpone the activity as some parts of the routes will be flooded and muddy, making it impassable. Moreover, it wouldn't be a wise choice to wait for the thunderstorm to subside as the rain stopped only at about 2pm.

I understand that most or practically everyone of us were on our way including some who were already there and a few bus stops away, hence having to make a detour back home or getting caught in the heavy downpour. I seek your understanding in this abrupt and last minute decision and always be prepared for such scenerios in future. Hopefully, we are able to carry out wednesday's trek smoothly. The postponed date for today's activity will be decided on wednesday after the trek.

Thank you

Yours sincerely,
Jingjie
President
