2021 Information



2021 Information
Released: 21-12-2020
Newbury Canoe Club (Berkshire) was recently placed into Tier 3
and is now in the new Tier 4.
Under current guidance we would have had to have returned back to Tier 2,
to have a chance of hosting the Waterside Races. This is unrealistic
in the time left before Race A.
We will continue to monitor closely the chances of Tier 2 status,
and are preparing to be in a position to act quickly
should this become a possibility.



2021 Dates
Race A :: 7th Feb
Race B :: 21st Feb
Race C :: 7th Mar
Race D :: 21st Mar
