Coronavirus COVID 19 update
Following the latest advice from the UK Government & Scottish Government, British Canoeing has issued a statement available here
notifying the cancellation of all British Canoeing events through until 30th April.
This cancellation will extend to SCA events in this time period including:
- Provider Moderation and Orientations
- Competition events in slalom, sprint, marathon and polo tournaments
- Pinkston Freestyle sessions
- Coaching Matters events
- Club Volunteer Conference
We will also cancel the SCA Regional Forums scheduled to take place in May
We will contact individuals who have booked for these events directly in the next couple of days and provide full refunds where payment has already been made. This may take a few days to work through.
We appreciate the disappointment this will have to many people across our community but, given the government advice, we hope you will appreciate that there is no other option than to take this action.
