Joggers & Walkers Need to be Visible

Hello all,

I'm writing this note because this morning, coincidently only minutes before reading the below news article, I passed a jogger on the road just west of the school. The person was dressed all in black and it was not yet dawn.

As a fellow jogger, perhaps this is a good time to remind all enthusiasts to wait until daylight or wear light coloured clothing in poor visibility.

Cheers! :-)
