Reorganised again but for good reason...

So there is good surf forecast and nice weather forecast but no competition ...why? We were told during the Worlds that the weekend which the Brits was reorganised to clashed with the Scottish Championships and a Surf coaching weekend in Devon. We could still have run the event and hoped as many people as possible would turn up however we decided that it was not the best thing to do. When we agreed to run this comp we wanted to get as many people to it as possible inparticular from parts of the country which had not managed to attend in the past. By holding it on a weekend when other event were taking place seemed to unnecessarily rule people out from competing, not a good thing for a national event. Since making the decision Scotland has postponed their comp but the surf event in Devon still left attendance issues for others. Reorganising the event again was a very hard decision as so many people are supporting the event and we are determined it will run. The event will now take place in Feburary we will keep the format the same with camping and evening BBQ and will also have hot food available through out the day as we appreciate winter surfing is chilly! Hopefully the event will be even bigger as it is propsed to hold a round of the HP comp at the same time. We will keep you updated with dates when they are decided. THANKS to all of you for your interest and support you will all make this event fantastic when it runs.

Happy surfing
