Mountains and Plains Championships LC

This year the MAPS Championships has been organised to run at Grenfell. Unfortunately this location is not suitable as a major target meet for a number of reasons including distance, lack of accommodation and other factors. 

Should you wish to voice your concerns at this decision to hold it here (which was against the advice of the elected MPS competitions committee), please email Barbara Weaver barbaracharolee@hotmail.com (MPS Secretary) and cc Mark Heathcote mark.heathcote@nsw.swimming.org.au  (Swimming NSW CEO).

Mountain Swim squad swimmers are welcome to attend if they wish however this meet wont be targeted.
