 Unless otherwise indicated, all ESF Championship and circuit events are going ahead as planned.

The ESF Board are actively liaising with Championship and circuit event hosts on a daily basis, and information will be published here as appropriate.

Individuals and teams travelling to events should have travel insurance which provides cover for 'Travel Disruption' if an event is cancelled due to travel restrictions imposed by government/national health officials/WHO. Please check your travel insurance terms and conditions, the decision to travel as always, is at your own risk.

Thomas Trodedsson (Coronavirus lead) is working closely with the ESF office to provide these regularly updates.
