Collingwood's open training session on Friday 22 January has been cancelled.

Rain and thunderstorms forecast for Melbourne on Friday morning will prevent planned activities from going ahead, while functions booked in The Glasshouse mean there will also be a lack of shelter available for fans. 

Training itself has been postponed until 1pm and while fans are still welcome to attend, autograph opportunities with players are likely to be limited.

The club apologises for any inconvenience caused to fans planning on attending and will hope to announce a replacement open training session prior to the commencement of the 2016 season.
