This will be the first meet of the season in our Zone, and it provides an opportunity for athletes to practice performing, and judges to practice judging. Athletes from the club plan to attend Nelson’s Judges Cup in February and the Key City Classic in Cranbrook in March where athletes will compete to try to qualify for Provincial Championships in Vancouver later in the season. Athletes are also training to attend Nelson’s Zone Championships in early May, and Kimberley’s own Coconut Cup at the end of May.
