Use a mobile phone to check oval conditions

Mobile phones and SMS messages are being used to alert sports groups when ovals are affected by wet weather.

An SMS BounceBack service operates for sports fields in Wyong Shire, on Australia’s Central Coast.

For 55 cents, you can SMS a code number for an oval and receive a mobile phone message saying whether the facility is either wet or available for competition or training.The system works like this:

• See the list of oval codes (PDF - 11 KB) Text version (RTF - 12 KB)

Wyong Shire Council will update the sports information at 1pm each weekday.
