March 22, 2020

Following careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone our training sessions and competitions for March and April. We hope to reschedule these events in the near future.

​

We have taken these steps to ensure that the health and wellbeing of our members remain our main priority, as a number of our members have underlying health issues that could put them at risk.

​

We will announce the rescheduled dates for future boccia sessions as soon as we can. Hope you all keep well and stay safe in this time of concern.
