MDOC club events cancelled until the end of the year
In light of Greater Manchester being placed at a very high Covid alert level (Tier 3) the decision has been made to cancel all club organised events until the end of 2020.
Stockport MBC has refused permission for us to hold organised events in its parks at this time and, with members spread across Tier 2 and Tier 3, any club events could encourage competitors and helpers to cross into or out of the high risk area, against Government and BOF advice.
Night Street League Series 2020-21
Sadly, MDOC have made the decision to postpone the beginning of the NSL series until January 2021, so the event scheduled in The Heatons on Thursday 29th October will NOT now take place.
As you can imagine, the decision wasn't taken lightly, but with the government guidelines strongly advising against travel between T2 and T3 (and vice versa) we felt it was the right thing to do.
Looking forward, we are hoping to relaunch the series in January (Covid - permitting of course).
