Ten more air quality alerts were recorded for the Upper Hunter since this morning to bring the total to 830 for 2019 as bushfires continue across the region.
Tonight's cancellation comes just 48 hours after the Singleton Track and Field Club also pulled the pin on its annual 'International Day of People with Disability' celebrations.
"The safety of our athletes is paramount so we were forced to cancel the club night which is disappointing because we had over 100 young athletes involved," Singleton Striders coach Hilary Kennedy told the Singleton Argus on Tuesday evening.
MEANWHILE club officials from the Singleton Greyhounds (Bengalla Hunter Valley Group 21 Rugby League) and Singleton Roosters (AFL Hunter Central Coast) have confirmed their respective training sessions will still continue as scheduled.
