News for 2020 April (click individual item to see Details)
​
Due to world wide outbreak of the COVID-19 Virus, HKSAR have currently laid restrictions on sports and group gathering events. To follow the HKSAR & HP guidelines, we have no choice but to postponed the COA events scheduled in the coming months until the recent HKSAR restrictions are lift / reduced.
​
It is foresee that the COVID-19 Virus would last for months. Hence, even if HKSAR would lift / reduce the restrictions on sport​​s events in the near future, it would be unsafe to arrange group gathering (i.e. meal or prize giving parties) after COA events.
Therefore, COA has revised the format of the events in 2020 to one day events which without prize giving party after the Rally / Race is finished. Results would be recorded and prizes would be presented to the winners in the COA 2021 AGM & Annual Party in early 2021 - Hopefully the COVID-19 Virus would then be over / become mild / with available medicine.
​
The first revised format COA event (without prize giving party) is the COA Summer Rally planned on Saturday 30th May 2020
- Click Here for planned Rally details
- Subject to lift / reduce of HKSAR restrictions on Sports Event
- Subject to Mardep approval of the event permit
- To be confirmed in early May 2020
