We are currently planning on running all our future events as we have not been told of any outbreaks on the island. If any competitors have been on the mainland in areas that have been affected we would ask that you do not attend as a precaution. All paid entries can be carried over to future events. If you have any concerns please feel free to contact us. We thank you all for your continued support and will update you should the situation change.
