Christmas – New Year Operating Arrangements
Tuesday, 02 December 2014
All AWTA offices are closed for the nominated Public Holidays over the Christmas and New Year period. AWTA Wool Testing laboratories will be open on all other days but with reduced staffing.
With wool sales resuming on 05 January 2015 and limited opportunities to forward wool samples for testing during the period between Christmas and New Year, particularly from regional centres, it is strongly suggested that all sampling for Week 28 wool sales be finalised by Tuesday 23 December 2014.
