17.01.2022 It is with sincere regret that we advise that the 2020 Champion of Champions Championships and supporting events has been cancelled. Due to the Government direc...tive in relation to COVID-19 on mass gatherings of more than 500 people, and the statement released by the RSOBHD today, the ABHDI have made the decision that the event is to be cancelled. We apologise for the delay in conveying this decision, however the SQRCHDI Executive felt they needed to take time to consider all options, in order to try to minimise the impact this would have on airfare and accommodation arrangements. We appreciate that the cancellation this close to the event is unprecedented in the history of highland dancing in Australia and indeed the world, and will be extremely disappointing to all, however the health and safety of our dancers, members and our community must be of paramount importance. Thank you all for your understanding and messages of support during this time. Please bear with us while we take time to work through the process regarding entry refunds. We will be in touch with further details. Amanda Skidmore President SQRCHDI

07.01.2022 As you all know the Australian Government has announced they recommend that non-essential mass gatherings of more than 500 people should not go ahead as from Mo...nday 16 March 2020. There is the possibility that more than 500 people will be present at crossover times during our event. We are endeavouring to get answers from our venue and other sources as to what direction we take. We acknowledge you would all like to know where you stand in relation to your flight and accommodation arrangements, but until we have all the facts on what we can do, we cannot give you a definitive answer. We have been informed it will be next week before we receive some of this information. Please be assured that once we know what our position is, we will be advising you accordingly.
