End of Season Demotion 2020
At the end of the 2020 season the Committee is likely to set the bar for "staying up" higher than in the past. Do not assume you are safe from demotion until you have 2500 points in Prem, or 1250 points in Div 1.

HPP Configuration
Water levels at Holme Pierrepont have been very high over the last couple of months, which has hampered finalising the configuration of the course prior to selection. Configuration is now complete above the Muncher section of the course but further adjustments will be made below the Muncher up to 22 January. The course configuration will then be final unless changes are required for safety reasons.
