2020 Junior + Senior Branch Championships scheduled for this weekend at Byron Bay have been POSTPONED. Unfortunately, due to the recent storms we have experienced in the Far North Coast we have had to make the decision. It has caused major issues with debris on beaches, erosion, exposing rocks and poor water quality throughout the Coastline. A revised date will be confirmed soon.
