UK Championships 2021

The NAO Executive Committee believe that all members will appreciate that the holding of the UK Championships in April 2021 is currently not viable and have taken the decision that we will NOT meet in Liverpool at that time.
 
Having considered various options including a potential online festival, at this time the decision is that hopefully things will improve in the 1st half of the year enabling the NAO to host and “ACCORDION DAY” event in later part of the year – maybe in October / November – the original timing of the traditional “Accordion Day” dating back to 1935!

Of course, only time will tell us if such plans can be brought into fruition and we will keep you fully updated. In meantime we must reiterate that important statement – stay well, stay healthy and we look forward to meeting in person soon!
