We have received this letter from NASCH with their latest news update.
Dear Secretary,
As you will appreciate, with swimming pools closed due to the pandemic, none of our Clubs have been operating since lockdown in March. Nobody has been able to swim and It does not appear that the pools will be open any time soon. This is very disappointing for us all, especially the swimmers.
The NASCH Committee have discussed the situation and have decided that there would be no time for our swimmers to get ready to take part in Club or Regional selection for our Championship Gala, even when the pools reopen. They have, therefore, with regret, decided not to hold the Championship Gala this year.
We have, therefore, written to cancel our booking at Newbold Comyn Leisure Centre on 7th November 2020.
We are, however, booking the pool for Saturday, 6thNovember 2021 when hopefully our NASCH Championships will take place in 2021. Whilst writing I can let you know that Woodlarks Camp has been booked for Saturday 22nd to 29th May 2021. We hope to see you at both events.
Best wishes,
Rosemary O’Leary
NASCH Administrator
