Yorkshire & Humberside Area recently took the decision to cancel the above tournament. A decision that we did not take lightly. However in order to help everyone understand we felt that we should give the reasons for our decision.
1. As we approached the closing date we had only 6 Entries. These from far flung areas of the country. Scotland, Devon and Ireland. We felt that it would be unfair to these people who would have to book transport, hotels etc.
2. The national Governing Body had arranged a National Squad training session for the same day, this despite them agreeing the date and venue with us. This precluded a lot of people entering, as they had to attend the Training session.
The area committee apologies for the cancellation but trust that you will understand that with a Closing Entry of 23 and 49 categories to fill the event would not be viable.
The Area committee look forward to welcoming you to future events in Yorkshire & Humberside and again offer our apologies to those who were disappointed at the cancellation.
