Again the Challenge aims to ready the divers going into the new year so: Please Note; all age groups events will be as per 2016 age groups, not 2015 i.e. if your diver is 13 as at 31 December 2015, they will dive the Luton meet in Group B. This applies to all our age groups except the pairs. To enable us to complete our event within our timetable, we will be limiting the numbers in each age group.
