The ABF advises that warnings have been issued by the ACT Health authorities regarding current Canberra's air quality as a result of smoke emanating from bushfires in NSW. Players intending to come to the Summer Festival of Bridge are advised to consider the potential health impacts at various measured levels of air quality if they do not follow the precautionary health advice/actions recommended by the ACT health authorities. This is most important for players in 'at risk' categories.
Players may also consider Canberra weather forecasts from the Bureau of Meteorology for next week.
