ABT has made the decision to cancel the Daiwa BARRA Tour Grand Final scheduled to take place on Lake Awoonga, 12-13th February 2011. A host of factors have contributed to the decision and include the following:
- Embargo by MSQ until the end of January on the processing and granting of permits to conduct events on Lake Awoonga.
- The adverse effects of recent flooding on the quality of fishing. This has been confirmed and communicated to ABT by many and very reliable sources.
- Limited acceptance and return of event invitations and multiple invitation declines.
Taking all these factors into consideration and with the less than warm acceptance of the boater/non-boater format into the BARRA events it has been decided to cancel the event. All entries and payments to date for the event will be refunding in full.
Further details on the BARRA calendar for 2011 will be released later in the year.
