Grantham Open 2021 Cancelled

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately we are announcing the cancellation of Grantham Open Saturday and Sunday 2021 scheduled for this November.

This is not due to the pandemic or any restrictions surrounding it, and is solely down to the indefinite closure of our planned venue, in order to house multiple Afghan refugees as a result of the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, and the UK Government's pledge to take in 20,000 refugees. The news broke here: https://www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/lincs-hotel-closes-guests-indefinitely-5883684

We are as disappointed that the competition has been cancelled as anyone, in fact we were getting ready to officially confirm it with the WCA this week, but this new development has put an indefinite hold on that.

We are looking forward to returning to competitions soon, but we do not have any further news to share. We do not have many competitions in the pipelines due to a lack of interested organisers. If there are any experienced cubers and/or organisers interested in organising a competition, please get in touch ASAP! You know where to find us!
